Ingredients
Chia Seeds: In my grocery store, the chia seeds are in the cereal aisle! But you can also get them online.
Maple Syrup: A dash of maple syrup for sweetness.
Ataulfo Mangoes: Ataulfo mangoes are my favorite variety. They are yellow all over, smaller than other varieties, and are intensely sweet and juicy.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk you prefer.
Desired Toppings: I like to add a crunchy topping like homemade granola onto my Mango Chia Seed Pudding. But you can add anything you like.
Instructions
Step 1. First, you'll need to dice a mango. To do this, cut the mango cheeks away from the seed.
Then, take a paring knife and score the mango all the way down to the peel, but don't pierce the peel.
Next, take a spoon and scoop the mango chunks away from the peel.
Step 2. In a large container that is safe to use with an immersion blender, or in the pitcher of a blender, combine the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and mango chunks.
Blend until smooth.
Step 3. Pour the mango mixture into a 3-4 cup container with an airtight lid, then add the chia seeds.
Stir very well, then place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and stir the mixture well again.
Step 4. Next, place the chia seed pudding in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, stir the pudding and divide it into two containers.
Dice another mango and divide the chunks between the chia puddings. Add any additional toppings you desire and serve!
Recipe FAQs
Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
The type of mango typically found in American grocery stores is called a Tommy Atkins Mango. They are a combination of green, yellow, and red in color and are typically pretty large. They are delicious, but can be fibrous.
Ataulfo mangos are smaller, solid yellow when ripe, and have sweet, smooth, juicy flesh.
Any cut fruit or berries, nut butter, nuts, seeds, or granola are all great chia pudding topping options!
Expert Recipe Tips
Chia seeds tend to stick together, so don't skip the double mix! It is important to stir well immediately, but even then, the seeds want to stick together.
Give the Mango Chia Seed Pudding 10 minutes in the refrigerator, and mix once more to fix that problem.
