Mango Coconut Chia Pudding
Description
Mango Coconut Chia Pudding features frozen mango chunks blended with light coconut milk and a touch of sugar to provide a subtly sweet, tropical base. The chia seeds are added along with fresh mango pieces into this mixture and refrigerated overnight to allow the chia to absorb moisture and thicken the pudding. The texture is creamy from the coconut milk and slightly gelled from the chia, with bits of mango providing fruit bursts.
The pudding can be stored in individual containers, making it convenient for portions or grab-and-go meals. The layering of blended and raw mango pieces provides a fresh contrast and added texture. This recipe calls for light coconut milk rather than full-fat to ensure sufficient liquid hydration for the chia seeds.
Because it’s made with chia seeds that swell overnight, the pudding offers a filling option with simple ingredients that are easy to prepare ahead of time. It can be eaten chilled as a snack or breakfast item without additional cooking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. mango chunks $1.65, frozen
- 1 oz. can coconut milk $2.19, lite
- 1 tsp sugar $0.02
- 6 Tbsp chia seeds $0.93
Instructions
- If the mango chunks are in large pieces, chop them into smaller, 1/4-inch pieces. Place half of the mango chunks , the coconut milk, and sugar in a blender and process until smooth.
- Divide the remaining mango chunks between 4 small containers (10-12oz. containers). Add 1.5 Tbsp of chia seeds to each container. Finally, pour the mango coconut milk mixture into the containers, dividing it evenly between all four.
- Stir the contents of each container to make sure all the chia seeds have adequate exposure to the liquid. Place lids on the containers and refrigerate over night, or up to 4-5 days.
Notes
- Use fresh mango chunks as a substitute for frozen if preferred, about 2 cups in volume.
- Avoid using full-fat canned coconut milk, as its lower moisture content may prevent chia seeds from fully hydrating.
