If you're searching for a vibrant and nutritious dessert that feels like a trip to the tropics, look no further. Our Exotic Matcha Mango Chia Pudding with Dragon Fruit Swirl is a feast for the senses. This innovative dessert combines the antioxidant power of matcha with the fiber-rich benefits of chia seeds. The luscious mango and dragon fruit not only add natural sweetness but also provide a burst of vitamins and minerals, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
Chia seeds are a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, while matcha provides a gentle energy boost thanks to its natural caffeine. Mango, with its high vitamin C content, enhances your immune system, and dragon fruit is an excellent source of antioxidants that can help fight free radicals. This dessert is not only a visual delight but also a delicious way to support overall wellness.

Indulge in a nutrient-rich, exotic dessert with our Matcha Mango Chia Pudding, featuring a refreshing dragon fruit swirl. Try this vibrant, healthy treat today!
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 cups
- • matcha powder: 1 teaspoon
- • ripe mango, peeled and diced: 1 cup
- • dragon fruit, scooped into balls or cubes: 1/2 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons (optional, adjust to taste)
- • fresh mint leaves, for garnish: a handful
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the matcha is fully dissolved, and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- 2 Add the diced mango and maple syrup to the chia mixture. Stir again to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir one more time to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- 3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and achieved a pudding-like consistency.
- 4 Before serving, prepare the dragon fruit by scooping it into small balls or cubes. To create the swirl effect, gently fold the dragon fruit into the chilled chia pudding, creating a marbled pattern.
- 5 Divide the pudding into serving bowls or glasses, and garnish each with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Matcha Mango Chia Pudding is perfect on its own, but you can elevate it by serving with a side of fresh tropical fruit salad. For an added crunch, consider topping with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a handful of sliced almonds. Pair this dessert with a light and refreshing green tea, which complements the matcha flavors beautifully. Alternatively, an iced herbal tea with hints of hibiscus or lemongrass can provide a refreshing contrast.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding may thicken further as it sits, so feel free to stir in a bit more almond milk before serving if needed. For best freshness, add fresh dragon fruit just before serving.
