Mango Chia Seed Pudding

This Mango Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, high-protein treat that doubles as the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or energizing afternoon snack. It’s fruity, refreshing, and you’ll quickly find yourself looking for any excuse to make it.

With just a handful of simple ingredients, this pudding transforms into a nutrient-dense meal that’s satisfying, filling, and truly gets better with every spoonful.

• Chia seeds: These tiny seeds are packed with fiber and omega-3s, helping support digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and provide long-lasting energy. Once they soak, they create that thick, pudding-like texture we’re after.

• Protein powder: Adding protein powder boosts satiety and helps you hit your daily protein goals. I use Orgain vanilla protein powder for its smooth texture and flavor. You can use code COOPSKITCHEN for 20% off your order.

• Milk: Milk is essential for allowing the chia seeds to absorb and thicken properly, creating that ultra-creamy consistency. I love using a high-protein milk to elevate the macros even more.

What truly takes this pudding to the next level is the combination of sweet mango, warm cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla. For even more tropical flavor and texture, fold in fresh mango chunks and shredded coconut before refrigerating.

It’s simple, nourishing, and tastes far more indulgent than it actually is—which is exactly how breakfast (or snack time) should be.

How to store: You can use any airtight container you have! I like to use 32 oz glass mason jars. The metal lids they came with rusted over time, so I switched to these plastic ones — and they’ve held up great! These are good for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Don’t skip the toppings! You can use any of your favorites — mine include fruit, seeds, nuts, granola and honey.
