Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced, ripe honey (Ataulfo) mango (about 1 large mango)
  • 1 cup coconut almond milk (can substitute any type of milk)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener like maple syrup, honey or Stevia (optional)
  • 1 container (4 oz) Cocojune or other coconut-flavored yogurt

Optional garnishes:

  • diced mango, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, granola

Instructions

  • Purée the mango and milk together in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the chia seeds and sweetener, if using. Depending on how sweet the mango is, you may not need any sweetener.
  • Pour the chia pudding into two bowls or mason jars, cover them, and place them in the refrigerator. Refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to serve, stir the pudding to break up any lumps. If desired, stir in a little milk to loosen up the pudding. Then, top the chia pudding with coconut yogurt and any desired toppings like diced mango and shredded coconut.

Notes

    • I like to use an almond and coconut milk blend; you can use any type of milk that you like including dairy milk or plant-based milk like unsweetened almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk, oat milk or coconut milk.
    • Depending on how sweet your mango is, you may not need to use any additional sweetener.
    • Use this basic chia pudding recipe as a template and substitute your favorite ingredients. Instead of a mango version, try berries, peaches, bananas or kiwi.
    • For extra protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
    • These mango chia seed parfaits will keep for 4-5 days in the fridge so make a batch on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week.
