How to make chia pudding with mango puree

Making this mango chia pudding recipe is super easy. To make the chia pudding, measure 1/2 cup of chia seeds, then place the chia seeds in a jug. Add 2. 5 cups of coconut milk or nut milk of your choice to the chia seeds while stirring with a fork or mixing spoon to separate all the chia seeds within the nut milk.

At first, it may seem like you have way too much coconut milk, but this is normal. The chia seeds need time to expand and soak up all the fluid. Set the bowl aside for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you should have a perfect chia pudding with a nice thick consistency. While the chia seeds are soaking, it is time to make the mango puree from frozen mango.

How to make frozen mango puree

To make the mango puree measure out 4 cups of frozen mango into a pot with 1 tbsp of rice malt syrup. Slowly heat the frozen mangos over low heat to soften using a fork to stir.

After approximately 10 minutes or once the mangos start to soften, you can use a potato masher to mix the mango puree and work out any clumps. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mango puree, but I prefer the consistency using the potato masher then set aside to cool.

Once the mango puree has been cooled and the chia pudding has thickened, measure the chia seed pudding into four glass cups. Top each cup with the mango puree for the most delicious mango chia pudding!

These chia puddings are also perfect to pre-prep for an easy breakfast on the go or snack to have on hand. Make the mango chia pudding to go by pouring it into a wide mouth mason jar and store in the fridge until ready to eat.
