Mango Coconut Chia Pudding (Tiny Tummies Delight!)
A creamy and naturally sweet pudding made with coconut milk, chia seeds, and ripe mango. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton or canned light coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup ripe mango, pureed or very finely mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Additional diced mango for topping (optional)
Instructions
Gather all ingredients: chia seeds, coconut milk, pureed mango, vanilla extract (if using), and cinnamon (if using).
In a small bowl or jar, add the chia seeds.
Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk. Make sure all chia seeds are submerged.
Add the vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of cinnamon (if using).
Stir well to combine the chia seeds and coconut milk mixture. Ensure no chia seeds are clumped together.
Add the pureed or finely mashed mango to the bowl or jar.
Stir the mango puree into the chia seed mixture until everything is well combined. The mixture will be liquidy at this stage.
Cover the bowl or jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the covered bowl or jar in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
After chilling, the chia seeds will have absorbed the liquid and the mixture will have thickened to a pudding consistency.
Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and give it a good stir.
If the pudding is too thick, add a tablespoon of coconut milk (or water) to loosen it. If it's too thin, add a teaspoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another 30 minutes.
Spoon the chia pudding into small bowls suitable for toddlers.
Top with additional tiny diced mango pieces for added texture and flavor (optional).
Serve chilled. For younger toddlers, blend the pudding slightly for a smoother texture if needed.
Safety Notes
- Adult supervision required for preparing and serving this recipe.
- Introduce chia seeds gradually as they are high in fiber and can cause digestive upset if consumed in large quantities.
- Ensure mango is soft and pureed or finely mashed to prevent choking hazards for young children.
