METHOD
To make the chia seed pudding: In a bowl combine the milk, maple syrup, lime zest, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to blend. Add the chia seeds and whisk until well combined. Cover the bowl or transfer to a mason jar. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight, ideally stirring once after the pudding starts to thicken (after about 2 hours) to help distribute the chia seeds evenly.
When ready to eat, slice the papaya in half lengthwise, then scoop out and discard the seeds. Squeeze a half of a lime over each papaya half. Stir the chia pudding, then fill the papaya halves with the pudding, dividing it evenly. Top with berries and mint leaves. Grate a little lime zest over the top of each serving. Enjoy!
