Thick and creamy mango chia pudding with layers of coconut milk chia pudding and mango puree. You’ll love the fresh, tropical flavor!
We recently got back from our Grand Cayman babymoon trip. We stayed at the Kimpton Seafire resort and they had these little cups of mango chia pudding. I immediately knew I needed to come home and recreate this tasty, tropical, healthy breakfast! It reignited my love of chia pudding so I decided to do a Chia Pudding Week and it kicks off today! Who’s excited?!
What Does Chia Pudding Taste Like?
Chia pudding tastes like… pudding! The chia seeds have a very neutral flavor so the final flavor depends on the milk you choose and the flavors you mix in! I decided to use coconut milk in this recipe to make it extra thick, rich and go with the tropical theme. And then of course, there are layers of mango puree which take this chia pudding to the next level. Mmm I want to eat this all summer long!
Ingredients in Coconut Mango Chia Pudding
- light coconut milk (from a can)*
- chia seeds
- maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- mango
- toasted coconut flakes
*Note: full fat coconut milk gets suuuuper thick so I like using light coconut milk for this recipe!
How to Make Mango Chia Pudding
In a mason jar or bowl with a lid, stir together the coconut milk, chia seeds and maple syrup. Let the mixture sit for about five minutes and then stir again to break up any clumps. Cover and place the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. I like to do this step the night before and let it sit in my fridge all night!
While the coconut chia pudding is setting, peel the mango and remove the flesh. If you’ve never worked with fresh mango before, don’t be intimidated! Start by peeling all of the skin off the mango with a knife. I then like to hold the peeled mango with a paper towels so it doesn’t slip all over the place and carefully cut the flesh away from the pit. The pit is giant and is a similar shape to the mango… as you begin cutting, you’ll notice the pit pretty easily! Place the mango flesh in a high powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
To assemble your coconut mango chia puddings, grab two jars, bowls or glasses and spoon chia pudding into each. Top with a layer of mango puree. Continue to layer chia pudding and mango puree until you’ve used up everything! Sprinkle with a few pieces of toasted coconut flakes on top and enjoy. The mango chia pudding will keep in the fridge for at least 3-4 days so you can meal prep these little cups in advance.

This has to be my favorite chia pudding yet! The coconut milk makes the pudding rich and creamy and the tang from the mango is the perfect balance for a delicious summer breakfast or dessert!

Woo!! So glad to hear this chia pudding was a hit, Keri! Thank for the review 🙂
This is one of the best chia puddings I’ve ever had! I’m definitely saving it as a favourite! It was so creamy and the flavours were delicious. I used frozen mango as they’re not in season at the moment. Such an easy snack!
Ah yay!! I love hearing this! So glad you enjoyed this chia pudding, Eildih. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
OMG, I think this is the best dessert I’ve ever tasted! I’m so glad I spotted mangos while in grocery store. I just wish I had bought more, so I can have it again tonight!!
Yay! So glad it was a hit, Susannah! Thanks for the review 🙂
I really love this chia pudding recipe! This time I made it with Papaya instead of mango cause I had that at home and it was getting nice and ripe! It was awesome 🤩 So good that I could have eaten another jar of it if I had it 😂🤤🥥😋! #ebfrecipeclub 🙏🏼😇
So glad this chia pudding was a hit, Gloria! And so glad the papaya worked out since you didn’t have mango. Thanks so much for the review!
I made these yesterday, and ate one this mornung for breakfast. It was amazing!!! My husband liked it too. I didn’t take a picture because I had to put it in larger mason jars and it didn’t layer pretty. Next time I will use dessert dishes and take a picture. My only issue was that I are it as my main breakfast and I got a little shaky/hungry afterwarss, so next time I will eat it with some other things or as a dessert. Thank you for coming up with this recipe.
