Ingredients

Scale

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (shake well)
¼ cup chia seeds (white or black)
1 large ripe mango (peeled and cubed)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (pure preferred)
Pinch of salt (to taste)

Instructions

Combine the coconut milk, mango cubes, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy
Pour the mango mixture into a bowl. Whisk in the chia seeds thoroughly to prevent clumps
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Whisk again to distribute the seeds evenly
Divide the mixture into jars or a single container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until it thickens into a gel
Stir the chilled Mango Coconut Chia Pudding well. Top with extra mango chunks, if desired. Serve cold

Notes

Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening to ensure the cream and liquid are combined.

Stir the chia seeds immediately after adding them, then again after 5 minutes. This avoids clumps.

Use very ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness. You can also puree extra mango for a vibrant swirl on top.

For a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze, as the texture changes.

This recipe is perfect for meal prep. It tastes even better after sitting for a day.
