Ingredients
Mango: Always choose good variety of mango for this chia pudding recipe. They give natural sweetness and a smooth puree.
Yogurt: Thick yogurt works best (Greek or strained). For vegan, coconut or almond yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle flavor.
Milk: Use whole milk for richness, or almond/oat milk for a lighter, plant‑based option. Balance is key for proper chia swelling.
Chia Seeds: Make sure they’re fresh and clean for best gelling consistency.
Sweetener: Honey is classic, but for vegan use maple syrup, agave, or date syrup. Adjust based on mango sweetness.
Instructions
To begin, prepare the mango puree. Peel the mango, cut it into small cubes, and place them in a blender. Blend until you get a smooth, creamy puree. Set this aside, as it will be the star flavor of your pudding.
Next, take a clean glass jar and add yogurt as the base. Pour in some milk over the yogurt to create a rich and creamy texture. This combination ensures the pudding is both light and satisfying.
Now it’s time to add chia seeds and honey. Sprinkle the chia seeds into the jar and drizzle honey for natural sweetness. Stir gently so the seeds are evenly distributed and don’t clump together.
Once that’s done, mix in the mango puree. Add the blended mango to the jar and stir everything thoroughly until well combined. The vibrant mango color will make the pudding look as delicious as it tastes.
Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid, swell up, and create a pudding‑like consistency while the flavors meld beautifully.
In the morning, take out the jar and top with fresh mango pieces. The chopped fruit adds a refreshing bite and enhances the tropical flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, fruity, and wholesome Mango Chia Pudding with Yogurt.
Substitutions
Yogurt alternatives: Use Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, or coconut yogurt for a vegan option.
Milk options: Almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk work well if you are looking for vegan version.
Sweetener choices: Swap honey with maple syrup, agave, or jaggery syrup if you prefer vegan mango chia pudding.
Topping variations: Add nuts (almonds, walnuts), granola, or shredded coconut for crunch.
Top Tips for Perfect Mango Chia Pudding
