This coconut chia pudding with mango puree is a healthy breakfast or dessert that only uses 6 ingredients! This will quickly become your favourite way to eat chia pudding!
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.

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

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

Excellent, would not change 1 thing. Thank you
Thank you Dina! Glad you enjoyed!
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!
