Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the peeled and chopped mango with half of the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy to create a toddler-friendly soft texture.
  2. Pour the blended mango mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the chia seeds evenly.
  3. Add the remaining coconut milk and maple syrup or agave syrup (if using), then mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients for balanced nutrition.
  4. Divide the pudding mixture evenly into 4 small toddler-safe cups or containers, suitable for finger-food-friendly serving.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and create a gel-like pudding texture safe for toddlers.
  6. Before serving, gently stir each cup to ensure an even, smooth consistency.
  7. Serve chilled at a comfortable temperature as a soft-textured, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan snack or dessert, perfect for toddlers aged 12 months and older.
