This recipe is built from a short list of wholesome ingredients you probably already have in your pantry or freezer.

For the chia base:

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ยพ cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can for creaminess)
  • ยผ cup water or almond milk (to lighten it slightly)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the mango layer:

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • Juice of ยฝ lime
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup (if mango isnโ€™t very sweet)

Toppings (optional but recommended):

  • Coconut flakes or shredded coconut
  • Fresh mango chunks
  • Chia seeds for garnish
  • Mint leaves for a pop of green

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Frozen mango works too! Just thaw it fully before blending.


๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ How to Make Mango Coconut Chia Seed Pudding (Step-by-Step)

1. Make the chia base

In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, almond milk or water, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix thoroughly and let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

2. Blend the mango puree

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped mango and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Taste and add a touch of sweetener if needed.

3. Layer it up

Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a stir. Spoon the coconut chia pudding into serving glasses or jars. Add a layer of mango puree on top. Repeat if your jar allows โ€” or just go for a beautiful two-tone look.

4. Add toppings

Finish with coconut flakes, fresh fruit, or anything else you love.

โœ… This is a no-cook, no-fail recipe โ€” great for batch prepping during busy weeks.
