“Superfood” and “dessert” in the same sentence (or dish) sounds too good to be true, but this tropical pudding is good and true. Fiber and protein-packed chia seeds are cooked in coconut milk and a touch of sugar. Enjoy it warm or cold, topped with fresh mango while thinking beachy thoughts.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (240ml) coconut milk
- ¼ cup (40g) chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ fresh mango, peeled and diced coconut chips (optional)
Preparation
- Place the coconut milk, chia seeds, and sugar into the Anyday dish and whisk to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave 2-3 minutes, or ****until the seeds are plumped and the mixture is hot. Let rest with the lid on for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Whisk the chia seeds until the pudding turns creamy.
- Top with fresh diced mango and coconut chips, if using.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Turn the pudding into a fall-inspired treat by adding 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and a pinch of pumpkin spice before cooking.
- Try it with other fresh fruits such as peaches, berries, pineapple, or bananas
- Add extra protein and mix in some peanut or almond butter.
Recipe notes
- If coconut milk is not available, use any other plant-based milk. You can also use regular milk if you prefer.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
