If you think healthy desserts are boring, you haven’t tried this Layered Mango Chia Pudding. This is not only guilt-free, it’s vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and takes just minutes to prepare. It’s less than 150 calories per serving too.
Raise your hand if you love dessert!
Both hands raised!
I always talk about how important moderation is, right? I also love to create healthy treats that you can feel good about. Ones that nourish your body and are packed with all good stuff. No guilt and you don’t that yucky feeling after eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates.
We’ve all had that yucky feeling before.
Now don’t get me wrong, if I want a cookie every now and then, I will eat it and enjoy the heck out of it .But for most of the time, I’d rather eat something filled with protein, fiber, antioxidants and omega-3-fatty acids. Hey, what about this chia pudding?
This chia pudding is a perfect example of how you can easily swap out a treat that is loaded with sugar for one that is nutritious. I used Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk. I love it because there’s no added sugar in there (yup, that’s 0 grams of sugar per serving) and it’s dairy-free. Let’s not forget that it’s also gluten-free and vegan too.
There’s so much to love in this dessert.
You can easily use a different fruit if you don’t like mango (GASP!) but I get it. There are so many things I don’t like. Mango is definitely not on that list. I loooooove mango, especially when the weather gets warmer.
And the beauty of this pretty dessert is that I didn’t add any extra sugar at all. The mango is naturally sweet on its own. I told you this was good for you!

Thank you Veronica!
That color is just plain gorgeous!
What a gorgeous dessert! I’m a mango fanatic and I could go for one of these right now.
My hubby is OBSESSED with both chia pudding and mangoes. So, clearly, I need to make this for him all week! Pinned!
Wow, I bet this s fabulous!
It really is, Carolyn 🙂
What a beautiful and healthy dessert Lauren! We keep cashew milk on hand for my littlest guy with dairy allergies, but the rest of us have grown to love it too. Delish!
Thank you Allie!
I love mango and I super love a guilt free dessert!
Thank you Stephanie!
I LOVE this idea! It’s bringing me back to summertime!
Thank you Marshie!
I love the colors of this pudding! And yes – I adore mangos too!
Great taste Martha 😉
Not only is this so bright and cheery, but it sounds delicious AND so easy to make! I love mangoes, and will be making this soon!
I hope you like it Patricia!
They look so pretty and I’m sure they taste amazing.
Thank you!
I love chia pudding, but I don’t think I’ve ever gone tropical with it before. I must change that because the mango, banana, cashew milk layer sounds awesome!
Thank you Heather!
I’m on the fence about mango. I do use the frozen ones in smoothies but I’ve never had a specifically mango dessert. I’ll need to give this a try. I do love cashew milk and I do love chia seeds.
Try it Renee, I bet you love it!
I agree, healthy desserts do not need to be boring. I started the new year with a resolution of eating healthier and I’ve been enjoying chia pudding a lot. I am also trying dairy substitutes and I need to try cashew milk soon. Thanks!
Thank you Melissa!
Lauren, to me this is the perfect evening treat!
Me too 🙂 Thank you Kristen!
I’ve been adding chia seeds to everything lately….this looks fabulous!
Thanks Ally!
Chia pudding is one of my favorite healthy treats, and this recipe with a mango twist looks spectacular!
Thanks Danielle!
Love these. The older I get, the less my digestive system seems to tolerate all the “bad” (but so tempting) stuff. Pinning to try 🙂
Thank you Jill!
I’m a recent chia convert and love your gorgeous pudding! Bring on the mango!!!

I’ve been wanting to try cashew milk for a while! You have me convinced!
I love Silk Cashew Milk!

I’m so excited to be finding healthy and flavorful desserts! Ps. I recently fell in love with chia and I can’t get enough!
Yay!! I bet you will love this Angie!
This is 100% my kind of treat!! I love every single ingredient in this and cannot wait to try this! I hardly ever eat mango so this is a really nice change of pace (from my berry madness) for me! LOVE!!
I knew you would like this, Rose 🙂
Girl, I am a dessert lover all the way! Although if I had my way I would eat it every single night. So having a light dessert is always something I’m looking for. Love this dessert and LOVE mango!
Thank you! I love my mango too 🙂
I love this recipe! Mango and chia are two of my favs!

I made this today for a brunch party, it was so delicious. My father is diabetic and can never have dessert because of the sugar, and he can have this! It was sweet & flavorful, and just so fresh. Thank you!
I am so happy to hear that Steph, thank you so much for stopping by!
