Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours until the pudding sets.
- Prepare Mango Chia Layer: In a mini food processor, puree the sliced mango with a splash of almond milk until smooth. Sweeten with agave syrup to taste and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2.5 tablespoons chia seeds. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set.
- Prepare Wheatgrass Chia Layer: In a cup, whisk together 1 cup almond milk, 0.28 oz wheat grass powder, and the juice of half a lime. Sweeten with agave syrup to taste and whisk in 3 tablespoons chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate until set.
- Prepare Avocado Chia Layer: Using a food processor, puree the avocado with 1/2 cup almond milk and the juice of one lemon until smooth. Sweeten with agave syrup to taste, then whisk in 3 tablespoons chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate until set.
- Prepare Dragon Fruit Chia Layer: In a separate cup, whisk together 1 cup almond milk, 3.5 oz dragon fruit purée, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Sweeten with agave syrup or honey to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours or overnight until set.

Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk based on preference.
- Agave syrup can be replaced with honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- Make sure to allow enough chilling time (at least 3 hours) for the chia seeds to absorb liquid and the pudding to set properly.
- Layering the puddings carefully will enhance the visual appeal of the rainbow effect.
- Bee pollen and edible flowers add optional but beautiful and nutritious garnishes.
