Description

Create a tropical, creamy, and incredibly healthy mango chia pudding with just 4 simple ingredients! This no-cook recipe is perfect for make-ahead breakfasts, snacks, or a light dessert. Naturally sweet, vegan, and packed with fiber and omega-3s.


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like coconut, almond, or oat milk)

  • 1 ripe mango, diced or puréed

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on mango sweetness)

  • Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Mix Base: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and milk. If using, add honey/maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about a minute to prevent clumps.

  2. Rest: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again.

  3. Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.

  4. Prepare Mango: While the pudding sets, purée or dice the ripe mango.

  5. Layer & Serve: Once set, give the pudding a good stir. Layer it in a glass with the mango purée or simply top with diced mango. Enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

No Clumps: Whisking thoroughly at the beginning is the key to a smooth pudding without chia seed clumps.

Sweetness: The ripeness of your mango will determine the needed sweetness. Taste before adding extra sweetener.

Thickness: For a thicker pudding, use a bit less liquid. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk.

Make-Ahead: This pudding is perfect for meal prep! It will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Toppings: Get creative with toppings like coconut flakes, chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of granola.
