Mango Coconut Chia Pudding
Mango Coconut Chia Pudding is a tropical, creamy, and nutritious dessert or breakfast option. Made with fresh mango, creamy coconut milk, and nutrient-packed chia seeds, this recipe is refreshing, naturally sweet, and satisfying.
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat or light, based on preference
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or water for a lighter option
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
- 1 large ripe mango peeled and diced (reserve some for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Toasted coconut flakes optional, for garnish
Prepare the Chia Pudding Base:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight, stirring once after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
Blend the Mango:
Add the diced mango to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a mango puree.
Reserve some diced mango for topping.
Assemble the Pudding:
Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir.
In serving jars or bowls, layer the mango puree and chia pudding alternately, or swirl them together for a marbled effect.
Garnish and Serve:
Top with the reserved diced mango and toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
