Add mango to blender and puree.
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water if needed to get blender moving. Puree should be thick.
Top Chia pudding evenly with mango puree, add diced strawberries on top. (Alternatively, separate Chia pudding into 4-6 even portions. Top with mango puree and strawberries; serve.)
