Introduction

Chia pudding has grown in popularity as a versatile and nutritious breakfast option. This version combines the natural sweetness of mango puree with the creamy, gel-like texture of chia seeds. When paired with soy milk, the chia seeds absorb liquid to create a satisfying pudding that is both simple and flavorful. The chilled preparation makes it especially appealing during warmer months.

The recipe is straightforward, requiring only three ingredients: chia seeds, soy milk, and mango puree. The process involves mixing these ingredients and allowing them to rest so the chia seeds can expand and form a pudding-like consistency. The resulting dish is naturally gluten-free, nut-free, and oil-free, making it suitable for a variety of dietary needs.

For added variety, this dish can be topped with granola, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of vegan yogurt. These optional toppings introduce texture and additional flavors, allowing for customization based on personal preference. It is a meal-prep-friendly dish, as the pudding can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator for a quick and healthy breakfast.

This pudding is best enjoyed during the summer when mangoes are in peak season. The vibrant flavors of the mango puree paired with the creamy chia pudding create a refreshing and energizing start to the day. While this dish is simple in its components, its adaptability ensures it can fit into a range of meal plans and preferences.
