Raw Food Recipe: Dairy Free Coconut Mango Pudding

Naturally  gluten free and dairy free, this raw food recipe using fresh mango and young Thai coconut is heavenly.  And the best part is how easy it is to make.   I made this for dinner one evening when I felt like I'd had enough greens for the day and could splurge.

Two of my favorite foods are mango and coconut.  Not sure why I hadn't thought of making a pudding from them before.  Eating this creamy pudding made me feel like I was in Hawaii.  Oh, yes, I also loved the coconut water that comes as a bonus when you make this pudding.
