Mango Chia Pudding In A Jar

mango chia pudding

This easy mango chia pudding is a blended mango smoothie soaked in chia seeds until a fluffy pudding is formed. You can use fresh or frozen mango along with cinnamon, vanilla, and milk of your choice for a refreshing breakfast or snack.

Mango Chia Pudding – in a jar!

It’s cold. It’s refreshing. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. It makes a great breakfast, snack or dessert. And it’s best served in jars with really cool lids!

I’ve partnered with Mason Jar Lifestyle to share this chia pudding recipe using some of their products. They make all kinds of mason jar accessories, from every kind of lid you can imagine to reusable straws, soap pumps, silicone sleeves, and solar lights! I have put everything they sent me to good use around my household.

How do you make chia pudding?

Now, back to the chia pudding, which fits four servings neatly into little half pint jars.

I started with frozen mango (which saves a lot of time not having to peel), but of course you can use fresh too!

To the mango add a banana, a cup of milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, and blend.

Meanwhile, put a scant quarter cup of chia seeds into the bottom of each jar.

What’s so good about chia seeds?

Chia seeds contain a ton of good-for-you nutrients, including fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. And I love their texture when soaked in liquid!

Pour your smoothie mixture on top of the seeds, equally between the four jars.

And then give them a big stir to mix the seeds throughout.

Add a little sweet if you want more

Note that there are no added sweeteners in this recipe, but if you like things on the sweet side, you might want to add a drizzle of honey to the mixture.

Then top with lids and chill for at least 2 hours. (Love the copper and cork lids!)

Chia seeds are also very hydrating, so I had this snack before two of my workouts last week!

    Yum yum! I’ve been devouring chia seed pudding lately but I’ve been making mine with protein powder and yogurt. I really love this version with the blended frozen fruit that is genius!!!!!! Can’t wait to try it!

    Those jars are absolutely adorable! I loved your chai chia pudding from several months ago, & this sounds like the perfect summer chia pudding recipe.

    Hi Kath, thanks for a tasty recipe. Just wondering if you can expand on how chia seeds hydrate/why they’re good pre workout. Thanks!

      I have read they absorb 10-12x their weight in water because they are hydrophilic (“water loving”), so that’s a lot of liquid they carry down with them, therefore supporting hydration.

    Hi Kath – such a great recipe – thank you! Do you have a calorie estimate for each jar?

      I believe they are about 225 calories a piece

    Hi, I blended the raspberry overnight oats in a blender (because I didn’t feel like eating them that day and figured they weren’t going to keep much longer) , added a little more almond milk and a banana and a little hot chocolate dry mix and it made an incredible smoothie! Have you ever tried this?

    Nice recipe, and love those lids and koozies! 🙂 We’ll be sure to try this out for our kiddos. I like how the koozies would make these easy to take on the go – great idea!
