    What does chia pudding taste like?

    Chia pudding tastes mostly like the ingredients you put in because chia seeds don't have a lot of flavor. In this mango chia pudding recipe, you'll mainly taste the sweet mango and creamy coconut milk. The chia seeds soak up the liquid and turn into a pudding-like consistency, very similar to tapioca pudding.

    Why you will love this recipe

    • Mangoes give the pudding vibrant tropical flavors.
    • This recipe is quick and easy to make - great for meal prep.
    • Kids love the sweet mango flavor, making it perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
    • Make ahead in batches for a week's worth of easy, grab-and-go breakfasts.

    Ingredients in Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

    The ingredients for mango chia pudding measured out and placed on a wooden table.

    This mango coconut chia pudding only needs a few simple ingredients:

    • Milk. I used unsweetened coconut milk. You could also use canned light coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk is very thick, so I don't recommend it. You can also use non-dairy milk or dairy milk.
    • Mangoes. Fresh ripe mangoes will give you the best flavor. If using frozen mangoes, let them defrost before blending. You can even use canned mango puree.
    • Chia seeds. According to Healthline, chia seeds contain antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. I used a combination of black chia seeds and white chia seeds.
    • Honey. I used this as a sweetener, but you could use maple syrup, agave syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Optional toppings: Unsweetened coconut flakes, fresh mango chunks, or granola.

    See the printable recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and quantities.

    Variations

    • Fruit. Any fresh fruits or seasonal fruits can be used instead of mango.
    • Protein. For extra protein, add a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder or nut butter.

    How to make mango chia seed pudding

    Honey being poured into a small bowl containing coconut milk and chia seeds.

    Step 1: Combine coconut milk, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside 5-10 minutes to thicken, then give it a good stir again to break up any lumps. Place the pudding mixture in the refrigerator for at least four hours to thicken.

    Fresh mango chunks blended until smooth in a blender cup.

    Step 2: Blend fresh mangoes in a blender or food processor until smooth. If the mixture is too thick and the mango chunks are not blending, add a teaspoon or two of mango juice to make blending easier.

    Two jars with layers of mango puree and chia pudding.

    Step 3: Layer the chia pudding mixture and fresh mango puree in a mason jar. Alternate layers between two glass jars.

    Step 4: Top with your favorite toppings and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

    Expert tips

    • Use fresh mangoes for the best flavor.
    • Stir the chia seed mixture well before refrigerating to prevent any lumps or clumps.
    • Let the pudding set for at least a couple hours, and preferably at least four hours.
    • Add more honey if you would like the pudding sweeter.
    • Blend the mixture after the chia seeds have gelled for a smoother texture.
    • Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make mango chia pudding vegan?

    Yes, just use plant-based milk and use maple syrup instead of honey.

    Can I make this pudding without coconut milk?

    Yes, you can use unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any other preferred dairy on non-dairy milk.

    Do I have to use a sweetener?

    No, you don't have to use a sweetener if the natural sweetness of the mango is enough for you.
