A quick and easy no-bake chia pudding parfait layered with fresh mango and toasted coconut, perfect for a healthy and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine ¼ cup (40g) chia seeds with 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk. Add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30ml) honey or maple syrup to taste. Use a whisk or fork to stir vigorously for about 1 minute, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping.
  2. Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. Midway through (around 2 hours), give it another good stir to break up any lumps and promote even texture.
  3. While the chia pudding is chilling, peel and dice 1 medium ripe mango into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen mango, thaw before dicing.
  4. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons (15g) shredded coconut and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove promptly to avoid burning.
  5. Once the pudding has thickened, layer a spoonful of chia pudding at the bottom of serving glasses or bowls, followed by a layer of fresh mango chunks. Repeat layers until the glass is full, ending with a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir in a splash of coconut milk if pudding is too thick before serving.

Notes

Stir the chia pudding mixture halfway through soaking to prevent clumps. Toast shredded coconut carefully to avoid burning. Adjust sweetness to taste. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of coconut milk. Use ripe mango for best flavor. Variations include swapping mango for berries or other fruits, and using maple syrup for a vegan version.
