Description
This Mango Coconut Chia Pudding is a tropical, creamy, and healthy breakfast or dessert. Layered with fresh mango puree and rich coconut milk-soaked chia seeds, it’s refreshing, naturally sweetened, and perfect for meal prep. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly!
Ingredients
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (or agave for vegan)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced, divided for puree and topping)
2 tablespoons toasted coconut or granola (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to prevent clumping.
2. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until it thickens.
4. Meanwhile, blend 1 1/2 mangoes until smooth to create the mango puree. Reserve remaining diced mango for topping.
5. Once the pudding is set, layer chia pudding and mango puree into jars or cups.
6. Top with diced mango, toasted coconut, or granola.
7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Notes
For best texture, stir the chia pudding twice within the first 10 minutes to prevent clumps.
Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess; light coconut milk will yield a thinner texture.
Store components separately (pudding and puree) for fresher flavor during meal prep.
