I could have this 🥭 Mango Chia Pudding any day of the week for breakfast or dessert. This is hands down one of the most delicious and refreshing recipes on my page. Chia seeds contain quercetin, an antioxidant that can reduce your risk of developing several health conditions, including ❤️ heart disease. The seeds are also high in fiber, which can help to lower high blood pressure as well. The mango topping is so incredibly 💦 refreshing especially if the mango is nice and ripe. The sweetener in this recipe is totally optional and you can absolutely adjust it. This recipe makes one large portion or two small. I personally separate it into two portions and enjoy it two days in a row. Feel free to use any unsweetened milk you love.
Why You’ll Love Mango Chia Pudding
Super healthy and absolutely delicious? Yes, please! This 🥭 Mango Chia Pudding ticks all the boxes: easy to prep, flavorful and fresh and super satiating to keep you full until lunch. This recipe is easily scalable, too so you can make a double or triple batch and have for the whole 🗓️ week.
How to Prepare Mango Chia Pudding
🫙 Start by adding the chia seeds, sweetener and milk to a jar or a glass and stir it really well.
🥄 Wait 15 minutes and then stir again so that it does not clump up.
❄️ Refrigerate until it thickens and becomes pudding-like consistency (four hours minimum, overnight is best).
🥛🥛 I like to separate mine into two smaller portions but you don’t have to.
🥭 Once it’s thickened, blend the pitted mango and coconut milk together and then add it on top. Enjoy.
Nonna’s Tip ❄️
Chill the chia pudding for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve a delicious pudding consistency.

You can store chia pudding in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it in an airtight container for the best freshness.
Stir the mixture well initially and then again after about 15 minutes. This helps distribute the chia seeds evenly and prevents clumping.
If your pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk and stir well. If it’s too thin, add a bit more chia seeds and let it sit for additional time to thicken.
