There aren’t many things that can beat a hot summer day and a cool, fruity, chia seed pudding. This mango coconut chia seed pudding is perfect for those extra hot days: the mango is refreshing, the coconut is rich, and the chia seeds give you the energy to get through the day. Plus, no baking is involved, so you don’t have to turn on the oven! 

I’m a big fan of chia seed pudding – it’s a great way to take advantage of the thickening qualities in chia seeds. Sometimes I have this pudding for breakfast with a whipped coffee, sometimes as a midday snack, and sometimes for dessert with a pineapple coconut rum cocktail. It’s light, flavorful, gluten-free, and vegan, making it a food for any time of the day!

Notes on Ingredients

Make sure to scroll to the recipe card at the end of the article for the exact quantities of all these ingredients.

  • Chia seeds
  • Silk Nutchello Toasted Coconut + Cashews – You can use other vegan milks, but this is my favorite for this recipe.
  • Maple syrup
  • Mango
  • Coconut flakes
  • Fresh fruit and juice – This is an optional garnish. I like to finish the pudding with fresh lime juice, kiwi slices, and strawberry slices, but it’s up to you. 

Can I Use Toasted Coconut?

I prefer to use coconut flakes for this mango coconut chia seed pudding recipe, but you can use toasted coconut if you prefer. The flavor will be a little stronger and more caramely if you use toasted coconut.

How to Make Mango Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

This sweet, mouth-watering pudding is very easy to make. 

Mix the seeds and milk. Add the Silk Nutchello Toasted Coconut + Cashews and the chia seeds to a bowl, then whisk until they’re combined. 

Chill. Add the maple syrup, cover the mixture, and place it in the fridge. Allow it to set, which will take at least 2 hours. 

Put in cups. Once the pudding mixture has set, divide it between your cups.

Puree the mango. Put the mango cubes in a food processor and blend until smooth. Spoon the mango puree into the pudding cups.

Finish. Add the coconut to each cup, then garnish with strawberry and kiwi slices, and lime juice.

Tips for Success

Here are a few tricks and tips to make sure that your mango coconut chia seed pudding is smooth and flavorful each time.

  • Chill for a long time. It will take at least 2 hours for the pudding to set, but it will be an even better texture if you let it chill longer. If you have the time, chill the pudding overnight. This will give it the creamiest texture, and also the best flavor. 
  • Strain the mango. To ensure a smooth pudding, spoon the blended mango through a strainer to make sure there are no fibers in the puree. 
  • Use fresh juice. These puddings are best served with garnishes, including lime juice. Make sure that you use fresh lime juice, and not pre-squeezed juice, as there’s a large flavor difference.

How to Store Leftovers

Place any leftover mango coconut chia seed pudding in an airtight container, and put it in the fridge. It will last for up to 3 days. 

Can I Freeze This Recipe? 

Freezing chia seed pudding isn’t ideal, because it messes up the texture a little. It’s still good though, so if you want to try, place the pudding in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before eating.
