A tropical and refreshing mango chia pudding with 16g of protein. A taste of summer in a jar. This vibrant treat not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also delivers a powerful punch of nutrients—packed with plant-based protein, healthy omega-3 fats from the chia seeds, and a boost of fiber that supports digestion and keeps you feeling full longer. The velvety mango creates a naturally sweet, juicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the crunchy, chewy chia texture, resulting in a delightful contrast that’s both satisfying and indulgent. Ideal as a post-workout snack to replenish energy or as a nutritious breakfast that keeps you energized throughout the day, this pudding is also perfect for meal prep—simply make a batch ahead of time and enjoy it chilled whenever cravings strike. Vegan and gluten-free, it’s suitable for various dietary preferences; for an extra protein boost, you can add a scoop of plant-based protein powder. To achieve the best consistency, stir the mixture well before refrigerating and let it sit for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully thicken. Top with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of coconut for added flavor and texture—an irresistibly wholesome treat that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl or jar, whisk together the protein powder, chia seeds, and coconut milk.
Stir in the pureed mango until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the pudding has thickened.
Stir the pudding well before serving. If it's too thick, add a splash of coconut milk.
Top with fresh mango chunks and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My puddings are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
