Mango chia pudding is an easy make-ahead summer breakfast. Chia seeds soak overnight and become soft and thick like a pudding. In the morning we add fresh mango and a few cashews on top. It is sweet, healthy and ready when you wake up.

Why you'll love this recipe:

Make-ahead — soaks overnight and is ready in the morning
Full of fibre, good fats and protein from chia
Sweet from ripe mango, no sugar needed
Easy to change with your favourite toppings

What you get in every serving

This is one of my favourite make-ahead breakfasts because it is so balanced — about 198 calories, nearly 6g of protein and around 6g of fibre per serving. Almost all of this goodness comes from chia seeds, which give plant protein, fibre and good fats, while the mango makes it sweet on its own, so no sugar is needed. It keeps me full through a busy morning, which is just what I want from breakfast.

How I make it nicely

The chia and milk amount matters. Mix it well, then mix again after five minutes so no seeds sit at the bottom. Leave it overnight for a thick, spoonable pudding. In the morning I layer it with fresh mango pieces so every spoon has both, and add the cashews at the end so they stay crunchy.

Make it your own

Use any milk you like — dairy, almond or oat all work, so it is easy to keep vegan. Change the mango for banana, berries or chopped dates as per the season. Add any nuts, seeds or coconut on top. A little honey or maple syrup helps if your fruit is not very sweet, and you can make a few jars together for the week.

Instructions

Tap a step number to mark it done. Cook Mode keeps your screen awake.

In a bowl, stir the chia seeds into the milk until all the seeds are submerged. Cover and refrigerate overnight so the chia plumps into a pudding.
The next day, dice the ripe mango into small cubes.
In a serving glass, layer the chia pudding and mango cubes alternately until the glass is full.
Top with a few cashews for crunch.
Chill for at least an hour before serving so the flavours meld together.
