Creamy, tropical, and packed with protein — these Mango Protein Chia Pudding Jars are the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast or snack. By blending mango, soy milk, yogurt, and a touch of natural sweetness, you get a smooth base that’s stirred together with chia seeds to form a thick, pudding-like texture. The best part? They’re easy to prep ahead and stay fresh for days in the fridge.

Divide the blended mixture evenly into 4 jars.
Stir in the Chia Seeds
Add 2 tbsp chia seeds to each jar and stir well.Let sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the seeds to settle, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Chill & Set
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) until thick and pudding-like.
Top & Serve
Before serving, top each jar with about 2 tbsp diced mango. Enjoy chilled.

Notes
Yogurt: Using ¼ cup per jar makes this pudding extra creamy and higher in protein. For a lighter consistency, you can use less yogurt. Vanilla Greek yogurt can also be used for a sweeter, more flavorful twist.
Milk Choice: Soy milk or regular dairy milk are the best options if you want a higher-protein pudding. You can use other plant-based milks like almond or oat, but they’ll lower the protein content — which is why I prefer soy milk here.
Sweetener: Maple syrup keeps this vegan; honey will also work if you prefer. Adjust to taste based on the sweetness of your mango.
Make Ahead: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Toppings: Add granola, coconut, or nuts for crunch.
