Recipe Ingredients
Coconut milk makes the pudding creamy and dreamy. I used regular coconut milk for that rich, velvety texture. Light coconut milk works too.
Mango: Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the purée if they are in season for you. You can also use canned mango purée or frozen mangoes.
Chia seeds bring the magic! They naturally thicken the pudding and take the flavor of the milk and other flavors they are soaked in.
Vanilla extract: A dash of vanilla extract rounds off the flavors.
Desiccated coconut: I love the nutty sweetness and texture it gives to mango coconut chia pudding. A little goes a long way.

How To Make Easy Mango Chia Pudding
Step 1: Add chopped mango, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to a blender jar.
Step 2: Blitz till you get a smooth mixture.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in desiccated coconut and chia seeds. Mix well.
Step 4: Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Stir it well the next morning. Add a bit more milk if the consistency is too thick for you. Taste and adjust for sweetness.

Top Tips
- I didn't add any sweetener to this mango chia pudding as the mango added enough sweetness for us. However, please taste and add a sweetener of your choice if you prefer.
- For extra rich flavor, stir in a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
- Mix in your favorite protein powder if you want to up the protein level in this tropical chia pudding.
- If fresh mangoes are not available, feel free to use canned mango puree or frozen mangoes.
- You can also use mango saffron compote instead of mango or mango puree! I have used that plenty of times.
How To Serve
Serve the chilled mango chia seed pudding for breakfast. It’s such a great start to the day. If you're into easy make-ahead breakfasts, you might also love this date and cinnamon chia pudding, strawberry rose chia pudding, and matcha chia pudding!
Layer it with chopped mango chunks and coconut flakes. Or top it with fresh mint, a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom, chopped nuts, or my favorite almond date granola.
It’s also a fantastic post-workout snack and a light, no-fuss dessert. Craving more mango magic? Try my matcha mango smoothie next!
