ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds (15g)

- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 mango, peeled, pit removed (150g) (can use frozen mango)

- 1 tsp shredded coconut

2. Leave to thicken in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes, or better still, overnight.

before blending.
4. When the chia mixture has thickened, layer half the mango purée evenly in a jar or glass. Then add the chia pudding and top with the remaining purée.
5. Garnish with shredded coconut, goji berries, and mint leaves.

Drizzle 1 tsp of sauce over the avocado strip.
6. Roll from bottom to top. Brush the free edge of the nori sheet with sauce to help the roll hold its shape. You may want to use a sushi mat. The rolls should be quite tight.
