A quick, fresh, and creamy mango coconut chia seed pudding that comes together in just five minutes. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or a refreshing snack with tropical flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup (about 150g) ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 1 cup (150g) of ripe mango. If using frozen, thaw completely and drain excess water (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place chopped mango, 1 cup (240ml) canned coconut milk, 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until mostly smooth but still a little chunky for texture (about 1 minute).
  3. Pour the mango-coconut mixture into a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons (45g) chia seeds. Mix well to avoid clumps.
  4. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey if desired and stir to combine.
  5. Let the pudding sit for at least 5 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to thicken. It can be eaten immediately but thickens better with resting.
  6. Give the pudding a good stir before serving. Add optional toppings like toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit.

Notes

If pudding is too thick after resting, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen. If too thin, add more chia seeds and let sit longer. For best texture, let pudding rest at least 15 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for creaminess. Optional toppings include toasted coconut flakes, fresh mint, or lime juice.
