This mango coconut chia seed pudding is a simple and nutritious breakfast option. It combines mango, coconut milk, and chia seeds to create a creamy, naturally sweet dish. Chia seeds are nutritious and full of fiber, omega-3s, and plant-based protein, making them a great way to start the day. They are also gluten-free. Since this pudding sets overnight, it’s perfect for meal prep and saves time in the morning. Once it’s set, the pudding is ready to serve with extra mango, shredded coconut, or more chia seeds for texture.
This recipe comes from Blk + Vegan by Emani Corcran. As well as breakfast, it works well as a quick snack or light dessert, too. Whether eaten at home or taken on the go, mango coconut chia pudding is an easy way to enjoy a wholesome plant-based meal meal.
