What You Need

To make vegan banana mango chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Start with ripe bananas. These should be soft and sweet. You also need a fresh mango. Make sure it’s ripe for the best flavor.

Next, grab some chia seeds. They help thicken the pudding and add a nice texture. You’ll also need plant-based milk. Almond, soy, or coconut milk will work great.

For a touch of sweetness, use some maple syrup or agave nectar. This adds a nice flavor without using refined sugar. A little vanilla extract will enhance the natural sweetness.

If you’d like, add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. Don’t forget a blender to mix everything smoothly, along with a bowl or jar to let the pudding set.

Remember to have a fridge handy to chill your pudding until it reaches the right thickness. Enjoy making this simple, tasty treat!

Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather up your ingredients. You will need ripe bananas, fresh mango, chia seeds, and almond milk.

Choose bananas that have a few brown spots. This means they are sweet.

Next, grab a ripe mango. It should be slightly soft when you press it.

When it comes to chia seeds, any brand will do. Just make sure they are fresh. You’ll also need almond milk. You can use homemade or store-bought.

Peel and slice your mango and banana. This makes blending easy.

That’s all you need to start making your delicious pudding.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy your vegan banana mango chia seed pudding in a few ways. Spoon it into a pretty glass or bowl for a simple presentation. Top it with fresh fruit like strawberries, kiwi, or blueberries. A sprinkle of coconut flakes can add a nice touch.
• Try layering this pudding in a jar with granola. This makes an easy, healthy breakfast or snack. Pack it for a tasty, on-the-go option. The crunchy granola offers a great texture contrast to the creamy pudding.
• For a special treat, add a dollop of almond or peanut butter on top. You can also drizzle a bit of maple syrup or agave if you like it sweeter. These additions enhance flavor and make each bite even more delightful.
• Get creative with your toppings. Chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts add a bit of crunch. A sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder can give a hint of extra flavor. Personalize it the way you enjoy.
• Whether you’re serving it for breakfast, as a snack, or even dessert, this pudding offers endless possibilities. The fun part is experimenting with different combinations to find what you like best.

Storage Tips

• After making your vegan banana mango chia seed pudding, you might wonder how to keep it fresh.
• Store the pudding in an airtight container. This helps maintain its texture. Glass jars or containers with tight-fitting lids work well.
• Put the pudding in the refrigerator. It stays good for up to three days. Make sure it’s always chilled until you eat it.
• If the pudding separates a bit after sitting, just give it a quick stir before serving. This will bring back the creamy texture.
• Avoid the freezer. Freezing may change the texture, making it less smooth when thawed.
• When serving, only take out what you need. Keep the rest cold to enjoy its fresh taste later.
