Coconut Mango Chia Pudding: A Delicious and Nutritious Recipe for Fertility and Hormone Balance
Chia seed pudding is a versatile and nutritious snack or breakfast option that can be a valuable addition to a hormone healthy diet. Inspired by my grandma’s rice pudding, I’ve created a low-carb, fiber-rich, and hormone-balancing version using coconut milk and mango. In this blog post, I’ll explore the benefits of this delectable coconut mango chia pudding recipe for fertility, PCOS management, and overall hormone balance. Let’s dive in!
Benefits for Fertility and Hormone Balance:
- Fiber-Rich Mango for Blood Sugar Regulation:
- Mangoes are rich in fiber, which aids in regulating blood sugar levels. Balanced blood sugar levels are essential for fertility and hormone balance, particularly for individuals with conditions such as PCOS.
- Vitamin A & C: Antioxidant Powerhouses:
- Mangoes are a fantastic source of vitamins A and C, which possess potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect reproductive cells from oxidative stress and support optimal fertility. Vitamin C, in particular, helps in the production of collagen, crucial for maintaining healthy cervical mucus, aiding sperm transport, and increasing the chances of successful conception.
- Natural Sugars: Pair with Protein and Fiber:
- Mangoes contain natural sugars, making them a delicious treat. To balance the natural sugars and prevent blood sugar spikes, it’s recommended to pair mangoes with protein and fiber-rich foods. This combination promotes sustained energy levels and supports stable blood sugar, benefiting fertility and hormonal health.
Coconut mango chia pudding offers a delectable way to incorporate fertility-boosting ingredients into your diet. With the fiber-rich goodness of chia seeds, the creaminess of coconut milk, and the nutrient-packed mango puree, this recipe supports hormone balance and enhances fertility. By including this nutrient-dense recipe in your meal plan, you’re nourishing your body and working towards healthier cycles and improved fertility.

Description
This coconut mango chia pudding recipe is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that can support better cycles and fertility.
Ingredients
Chia Pudding
- 1 can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 6 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, I don’t use)
- Toppings: shredded coconut, freeze-dried strawberries
Mango puree
- 2 cups frozen mango, defrosted*
- 1/2 lime, squeezed
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Blend a can of coconut milk in a high-speed blender. For a smooth and creamy milk, warm the entire can of coconut milk in a glass jar for 30 seconds before blending.
- Add almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the coconut milk and blend until well combined.
- Transfer the milk mixture to a mixing bowl and add chia seeds. Stir until the chia seeds are completely combined with the milk. Let it sit on the counter for about an hour, giving it another stir before refrigerating. You can also build your parfaits without refrigerating the chia pudding first.
- Blend the defrosted mango, lime juice, maple syrup, and sea salt until smooth. Pour the mango puree into a glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To build your mango chia parfait jars, start by layering chia pudding and mango puree, then top with additional mango, shredded coconut, or berries. Store in the fridge or enjoy right away!
Enjoy this coconut mango chia pudding and savor the delightful blend of flavors while nurturing your fertility and hormone balance.
