Mango Chia Pudding - Vegan recipe hero image

Hey there!

I’ve always been a fan of puddings, but this Mango Chia Pudding holds a special place in my heart.

It reminds me of warm summer days spent at the beach, sipping on fresh smoothies.

The best part?

You can prep it the night before and have a delightful breakfast or snack ready to go!

Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Chia seeds are not just great for thickening; they’re also a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids. If you don’t have coconut coconut milk, almond or oat coconut milk can work too, but the texture might be a bit different. And don’t skimp on the mango; it’s the star of the show here!

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep mine in mason jars; they’re easy to grab and super cute.
  • If you want a little crunch, add some granola on top just before serving.

Recipe Variations

  • You can swap out the mango for your favorite fruit, like berries or peach.
  • Sometimes I mix in a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days, but I doubt it’ll last that long!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! It’s perfect for meal prep. Just make sure to store it in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days.
