This Mango Chia Pudding recipe uses fresh mango, is a great source of fiber, & works up in just minutes. Easy to customize, with tasty variations!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

It seems like it\u2019s been a while since I posted one of my basic chia pudding recipe options, so here we go with another delicious chia pudding - this time, a mango version!<\/p>\n

I love making different chia puddings with seasonal fruits, and this delicious pudding was a summertime favourite for us this year.<\/p>\n

Mango chia seed pudding is such a versatile, easy recipe to make. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a delicious pudding that works just as well as a healthy dessert - it\u2019s mango pudding, after all - as it does for a healthy snack, or healthy breakfast.<\/p>\n

It really does make the perfect breakfast, weird as it may sound. Some say it has a similar texture to overnight oats though, so there you go.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyway, you can meal prep it in a mason jar one day, and be eating creamy mango chia pudding for mornings to come - just grab and go!<\/p>\n

As a dessert recipe, I like to top it with fresh fruits - mango slices and\/or berries - and garnish with fresh mint leaves. <\/p>\n

It feels fancy, and it\u2019s a delicious way to get some extra fiber into our diet.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This sweet mango chia pudding uses really simple ingredients that are generally easy to find in any large grocery store. A few notes for you:<\/p>\n

Chia Seeds<\/h4>\n

Chia seeds are lauded for a whole host of health benefits, from aiding digestive health (as a good source of fiber), to regulating blood sugar and supporting heart health.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as essential amino acids.<\/p>\n

Aside from the health benefits they bring to this recipe, they\u2019re also what create the pudding-like consistency, through the way they absorb and retain water.<\/p>\n

You can use either Black Chia Seeds<\/a> or White Chia Seeds<\/a>, we\u2019ll usually switch it up based on what we have more of on hand.<\/p>\n

As pictured, we used white chia seeds for this batch.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Fresh Mangoes<\/h4>\n

I prefer to use fresh ripe mangoes, rather than something like frozen mango chunks. <\/p>\n

I just find that the fresh mango puree is sweeter and has a much better, stronger mango flavour - especially during mango season.<\/p>\n

Note: if you\u2019re using a sweetened canned mango puree, I\u2019d recommend going with about \u00bd cup, and skipping the added sweetener in the recipe.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Milk<\/h4>\n

I tend to use non-dairy milk, as I try to limit my dairy consumption to cheese and sour cream, for the most part.<\/p>\n

Plus, I just find that the plant-based milk options tastes WAY better than regular milk - and that goes double when using it in a desserty recipe!<\/p>\n

When it comes to dairy-free milk, I default to a good quality Unsweetened Almond Milk<\/a>, as that\u2019s what we tend to have on hand.<\/p>\n

This recipe also works really well with Oat milk<\/a>, Cashew Milk<\/a>, Flax Milk<\/a>, Macadamia Milk<\/a>, and coconut milk.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not into soy milk, personally, but if you are - feel free to use it!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Sweetener of Choice<\/h4>\n

Pretty much any sweetener works well in this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll use a monkfruit and erythritol blend when I\u2019m having some, or just plain granulated sugar when making it for my husband.<\/p>\n

Maple syrup and agave nectar are other good options.<\/p>\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you need some Pure Vanilla Extract<\/a> and salt.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it - and I don\u2019t have anything to add for either of those!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Variations<\/h4>\n

You can vary this recipe in a couple of main ways - what goes in it, and what goes on top of it.<\/p>\n

Your choice of sweetener and milk go a long way to customizing the flavour of this mango chia pudding, but you can take it even further.<\/p>\n

Make yours a mango coconut milk chia pudding, and toss some unsweetened coconut flakes. Garnish with some more coconut and sliced mango, and you\u2019ve got yourself a mango coconut chia pudding.<\/p>\n

Want to up the tropical flavors a bit? Swap the vanilla in that coconut pudding out for Rum Extract<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your mango coconut rum pudding will taste like a fancy topical drink, suitable for a hot summer day!<\/p><\/div>\n

Alternatively, skip the coconut, keep the rum extract, and blitz some fresh mint leaves in with the mango. Mango Mojito pudding! <\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of my favorite ways to customize this recipe, very refreshing!<\/p>\n

Whether you customize the actual pudding or not, don\u2019t skimp on the toppings - use whatever you like!<\/p>\n

My favorite toppings are fresh berries, more mango, mint leaves, toasted coconut, toasted pecans, hemp hearts... mostly just whatever we\u2019re in the mood for at the time.<\/p><\/div>\n

How to Make Mango Chia Pudding<\/h2>\n

The full recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post, here is the pictorial walk through:<\/i><\/p>\n

Place chopped mango into a mini food processor, blitz to puree.<\/p>\n

Add almond milk, sweetener, and salt to the blended mango. Blitz until smooth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Add extract, blitz to combine. Taste, add a little more sweetener if necessary.<\/p>\n

Add chia seeds, blitz just until combined.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Allow chia seed mixture to sit for 20 minutes, give it a good stir or blitz again, and divide into 2 serving cups \/ glass jars, or one larger airtight container.<\/p>\n

For best results, chill for at least a couple of hours before serving.<\/p>\n

Garnish as desired - I like to use extra mango cubes or slices and fresh mint in each serving glass - and serve.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to eat these mango chia puddings within 4-5 days of making them.<\/p><\/div>\n
