Instructions

Prepare the Chia Pudding Base

  • Mix the Chia Seeds and Milk: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Whisk together until the chia seeds are evenly dispersed in the liquid.
    ¼ cup chia seeds, 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • Add Sweetener and Flavoring: Stir in the blue agave sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
    2 tablespoons blue agave nectar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, A pinch of salt
  • Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to serving jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened into a pudding-like consistency. Stir once after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.

Make the Mango Layer

  • Cut the Fresh Mangoes: Use for topping.

  • Blend the Frozen Mango: In a blender or food processor, add the frozen mango, plant milk, and sweetener (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mango mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water or almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.
    1 cup frozen mango, ½ cup plant-based milk of choice, 1 tbsp blue agave sweetener
  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the mango puree and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

Assemble the Mango Chia Pudding

  • Layer the Pudding: In serving jars or bowls, layer the mango puree on top of the chilled chia pudding. You can also create layers by alternating between the chia pudding and mango puree for a beautiful visual effect.
  • Add Toppings: Top the pudding with your choice of fresh mango chunks and add ins like shredded coconut, granola, nuts, or fresh berries.

Notes

Notes
Consistency: The consistency of chia pudding can be adjusted by altering the ratio of chia seeds to liquid. For a thicker pudding, use slightly more chia seeds or switch to regular coconut milk. For a thinner pudding, add more almond milk.
Sweetness: The sweetness level can be adjusted to your taste. If you prefer a less sweet chia pudding, reduce the amount of sweetener in both the chia pudding and mango layer.
Preparation: This pudding can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it an excellent option for meal prep. Just store in an airtight container.
Add-ins and Variations
Coconut Milk: Substitute part or all of the almond milk with coconut milk for a richer, creamier pudding with a hint of coconut flavor. This is my favorite!
Protein Boost: Add a small scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the chia seed mixture for an extra protein kick.
Other Fruits: Swap the mango for other fruits like strawberries, peaches, or passion fruit to create different flavor combinations.
Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg to the mango chia pudding for a warm, spiced flavor.
