Lately, I've been in a breakfast rut—especially on during the week. I find myself making Ruby's breakfast and heading to the office quickly without feeding myself. I've been searching for something healthy, yet filling, and Casey (our office manager) suggested one of her favorites—chia seed pudding. So we came up this mango version which is tasty, filling, really refreshing for summer (and actually really good for you). Have you guys tried chia seed pudding before? Today, we're sharing our version of the recipe with you. It's super easy to make and full of protein, calcium, fiber, and antioxidants…
Mango Chia Seed Pudding
(serves 2)
You'll need:
-1/2 cup coconut milk
-1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
-1/3 cup chia seeds
-1 ripe mango, skinned and sliced
-optional toppings: fresh mango cubes, coconut flakes/toasted coconut, fresh pomegranate seeds, and almond slices
Here's how:
Blend the mango, coconut milk, and vanilla almond milk together until smooth. Stir in chia seeds, cover, and place in refrigerator. Let set for at least 1-2 hours. Then serve with toppings of choice (we like shredded coconut, almond slivers, pomegranate seeds, and mango cubes). Enjoy!
P.S. If you don't like coconut milk, you can use a full cup of almond milk instead.

What kind of coconut milk? The thick kind – used for curries, etc., or the one sold like almond milk at Trader Joe’s?
Hello!
You can use either kind, but for a creamier pudding, we used So Delicious brand culinary coconut milk (the thick kind used in cooking).
Thanks!
Joy
This looks fresh and healthy! Thanks for the breakfast alternative!

hi joy! thanks for the recipe. where did you get those beautiful spoons?
Looks stunning! I only have coconut milk and full cream cow’s milk. Could I sub in the cow’s milk and vanilla extract for vanilla almond milk?
I love this breakfast idea! It reminds me of the mango and coconut rice puddings that they serve in Thailand! I think this will be perfect for summer morning breakfasts! X
Yes! It def has a bit if that taste and texture!

Hi!
Yes, you can substitute regular milk. I wouldnt use vanilla extract though, instead maybe some
Agave or honey or a little sugar. It will just be a thicker depending on the level of fat in the milk.
Best!
