Print Recipe

A quick and easy tropical chia pudding made with chia seeds, full-fat coconut milk, and fresh mango, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (about 45 grams)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 1 cup or 165 grams)
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Add 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey if using, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (45 grams) of chia seeds evenly over the coconut milk mixture. Stir thoroughly for at least 30 seconds to prevent clumps.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps and ensure even hydration.
  4. Peel and dice 1 ripe mango into small cubes (about 1 cup or 165 grams). Optionally puree half the mango for a smoother texture.
  5. Stir in about 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice into the pudding mixture to brighten the flavors.
  6. In storage jars or bowls, layer chia pudding and diced mango alternately, finishing with mango on top.
  7. Seal containers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding.
  8. Before serving, gently stir if separated. Optionally top with toasted coconut flakes, fresh mint leaves, or berries.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest texture. Stir the chia seeds well to avoid clumps. If pudding is too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of coconut milk. If too thin, add more chia seeds and let sit longer. Ripe mangoes provide the best sweetness and flavor. Can substitute coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a lighter version but texture will be less creamy. Sweetener is optional depending on mango ripeness.
