3 jars filled with coconut chia pudding and mango puree

This is one of my absolute favourite ways to enjoy eating chia pudding (besides my banana cream pie chia pudding!). When you dig your spoon in you get some creamy coconut chia pudding and a scoop of fruity mango puree in every bite!

How to make coconut chia pudding with mango puree

This is a pretty simple one to make. (Yay!) Here is what you’ll need:

  • chia seeds
  • coconut milk
  • shredded coconut
  • maple syrup
  • vanilla extract
  • Mangos

Start by preparing the chia pudding by mixing the chia seeds, coconut milk, shredded coconut, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes.

While the chia puddings sits, puree your mangos in a blender or food processor.

Pour some chia pudding into a small cup or jar and top with some mango puree.

Tips to make this recipe perfectly

  • Make sure to use high-quality coconut milk for really nice and creamy chia pudding.
  • Mix the chia pudding for a good 2-3 minutes with a fork or whisk to make sure the mixture doesn’t get clumpy
  • Let the chia pudding sit for a minimum of 30 minutes so it has time to properly gel into a pudding.
  • If you let the chia pudding sit in the fridge overnight and it becomes very thick, just add a bit more coconut milk or almond milk and mix it again.
  • Use ripe sweet mangos for the puree. If your mangos are a bit tart, you may want to add a tablespoon of maple syrup or a sweetener to the mango puree

What does this chia pudding taste like?

Chia pudding has a similar texture to tapioca, with a creamy-like texture. Chia seeds themselves have no flavour really, so they will taste like whatever you flavour them with!

For this recipe, the chia pudding tastes like creamy coconut, which is delicious! Having the mango puree to pair with the chia pudding gives this recipe that vibrant fruity pop that compliments the richness and creaminess of the coconut chia pudding.

Description

A delicious healthy chia pudding recipe with only 6 ingredients! 


Scale

Ingredients

Coconut chia pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/4 cup light coconut milk (or full-fat if you prefer) 
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mango puree

  • 2 large ripe mango
  • (optional) 1 tbsp maple syrup if your mangos are tart 

Instructions

  1. In a bowl whisk together the chia seeds, shredded coconut, coconut milk maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Allow to sit and gel for 30 minutes.
  3. Peel and chop your mango and add to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
  4. Layer the chia mixture in the bottom of a cup followed by the coconut layer on top.
  5. (Optional) Garnish with fresh mango and coconut flakes.

Notes

A whisk works best to mix chia pudding with to make sure everything is well incorporated.

You can prepare the chia pudding the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight to gel so it’s ready for breakfast the following day! 

If you’re having trouble pureeing your mangos, add 1-2 tbsp of water to help thin it down a bit

    The best chia recipe! Loved the mango topping to go with the chia. I’ve tried other chia recipes that are just the chia pudding alone which I find tastes ok, but with the mango puree it makes all the difference!

    Is the coconut milk the kind for drinking or cooking?

      Hi Mary, I use the kind for cooking (from a can) but you can use either, both will work!
