Creamy mango chia pudding. This perfectly sweet and delicious pudding is only 4-ingredients and so healthy it doubles as breakfast or dessert.

These mango chia puddings are so cute!
And they’re so tasty Jaye and I were practically fighting over them.
These puddings fit perfectly in that category of breakfast/dessert. Perfect for breakfast or dessert. Now that’s a win if I ever saw one.
Everyone likes dessert but dessert is optional. Breakfast on the other hand? Mandatory.
So having dessert for breakfast can only be a good thing.
And when it’s chia pudding, it’s a super healthy breakfast/dessert too.

How To Make Mango Chia Pudding
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
- These chia puddings are so easy to make.
- Add fresh mango to a blender or food processor and process into a purée.
- Add chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup and the mango purée to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk it together until smooth.
- Then add in chunks of fresh mango.
- Mix it in.
- Place into the fridge for 15 minutes and then bring it out and give it a stir, and then put it back into the fridge for another 15 minutes and that’s it!
- Divide the pudding between 4 serving glasses, top with some chunks of fresh mango and you have the most divine breakfast/dessert you could ever want!
Ingredient Notes
Coconut milk. We used canned coconut milk for this. The full fat variety. It really creates a super creamy texture here and makes this really rich and delicious.
You absolutely can switch this out for a light coconut milk or a different plant milk, but of course it will be less rich if you do, but still good.
Maple syrup. We used maple syrup for the sweetener. Since there are 4 serves of mango chia pudding in this recipe, it works out to 1 Tbsp per serve. If you want to you can omit the maple syrup and see if the mango alone makes it sweet enough for you.
Then you can just drizzle some maple syrup over the top if it’s not sweet enough when you serve it.
I consider this pudding to be the perfect level of sweet, but if you are the type of person who tends to find many desserts overly sweet, then rather take the more cautious approach.
Fresh ripe mangoes. It’s crucial that your mangos are ripe and delicious for a perfect result in this recipe. They should be firm but yield to the touch and they should taste sweet and delicious.
Storing Tips
Keep leftovers stored in the fridge where they will stay good for 4-5 days.
So even if you’re only making this recipe for one, make the full portion and enjoy one a day for 4 days.
