Pro tips and variations to make the best Coconut Mango Chia Pudding
-
I have used creamy and thick coconut milk for this recipe because it gives a nice rich and creamy texture to this pudding. But you can also use light coconut milk for this recipe.
-
I added 2 tablespoons of sweetener for 4 servings of this pudding. Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste buds.
-
You can omit the maple syrup, if the mango alone makes it sweet enough for you.
-
If your mangoes are not sweet enough, then you can also add some sweetener to mangoes while pureeing.
-
For the topping, you can also use toasted coconuts, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey/maple syrup.
-
I have used fresh mangoes for this coconut mango chia pudding recipe, but you can also use frozen mangoes for making puree.
-
If you don’t want to make mango puree, then simply use canned mango chunks or mango puree.
-
To make it fuller, you can also use some granola or muesli toppings for this pudding.
-
Always add topping right before serving.
-
Instead of pureeing mangoes separately, mangoes can also be pureed along with coconut milk before soaking chia seeds. I personally like this pudding in layers so I add mango puree in a layer.
-
You can also replace honey/maple syrup with 2 tablespoons of pureed dates.
-
You can refrigerate any leftovers. Mango chia pudding would stay fresh for up to 4 days.
-
Sometimes pudding does not thicken up properly. If your chia seed pudding is still liquid and didn’t set as it should, then add about 1 tbsp of chia seeds to the pudding and whisk well. Let it sit for about an hour, and your pudding will thicken up.
-
I personally like to use honey because it is higher in antioxidants, lower in fructose-content, is less processed, and has many other health benefits. Feel free to choose any other sweetener.

To get more mango-ey flavors in this pudding, you can add mango chunks in the coconut chia pudding.
