Description

This Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is a refreshing and nutritious make-ahead breakfast or snack that combines tropical flavors with superfood chia seeds. Creamy coconut milk, hydrating coconut water, sweet mango, and a touch of vanilla create a deliciously smooth and thick pudding that’s naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. Perfect for a light, vegan-friendly treat that requires no cooking and can be prepared in minutes.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1 x 15oz can of unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup coconut water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup

Optional Toppings

  • Another ripe mango, chopped for serving

Instructions

  1. Shake the coconut milk: Shake your can of coconut milk really well before opening it to incorporate the creaminess throughout, ensuring a smooth and rich texture in your pudding.
  2. Prepare the mango: Peel and slice your ripe mango into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl to form the fruit base of your pudding.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: To the mango cubes, add the coconut milk, coconut water, vanilla extract, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and honey or maple syrup.
  4. Mix thoroughly: Thoroughly stir the mixture to combine all ingredients well. Stir continuously for several minutes to activate the chia seeds, allowing them to absorb liquid and gel, which thickens the pudding.
  5. Portion and chill: Transfer the mixture equally into 4 smaller glass jars or containers and seal each with a lid. Refrigerate overnight to let the pudding set and flavors meld.
  6. Serve and garnish: When ready to eat, optionally top each serving with additional chopped fresh mango to enhance the fruity flavor and add texture. Enjoy your refreshing chia pudding!

Notes

  • Shake the coconut milk well to avoid separation for a creamier texture.
  • Use fully ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Maple syrup is suitable for a vegan option; use honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Overnight refrigeration is essential for chia seeds to absorb liquid and form pudding consistency.
  • Use glass jars with lids for easy storage and portion control.
