Print Recipe

A quick and easy healthy breakfast parfait featuring creamy chia pudding layered with juicy mango and shredded coconut, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh mango, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk. Stir well with a whisk or spoon to break up any clumps.
  2. Add 1–2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix again until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
  4. Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to thicken.
  5. While the pudding is chilling, dice 1 cup of fresh mango into small cubes. Optionally, zest 1 teaspoon of lime peel and mix with the mango.
  6. In serving glasses or jars, spoon a layer of chia pudding followed by a layer of diced mango. Repeat if desired.
  7. Top with 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut. Optionally, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch.
  8. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

If the pudding is too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen it. If too thin, add more chia seeds next time. Toast shredded coconut lightly for a nuttier flavor and crunch. Fresh mango is best added just before serving to maintain juiciness. The pudding keeps up to 3 days refrigerated; add fresh fruit only when serving.
