Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Just thaw it first and drain any excess liquid. Frozen mango works beautifully—I always keep some in my freezer for emergency pudding cravings. The texture might be slightly less vibrant, but the taste is still fantastic.

How long does mango chia pudding last in the fridge?

It keeps wonderfully for 3 days—sometimes even 4 if your fridge runs cold. The chia seeds help maintain that perfect creamy texture. Just give it a quick stir before serving if it's been sitting awhile.

Why is my chia pudding too runny?

Don't worry—this happens to me too sometimes! Either your chia seeds needed more time to absorb liquid (try waiting another hour), or you might need an extra 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds. The ripeness of your mango can also affect thickness.

Can I make this without almond milk?

Of course! Any plant-based milk works—I've had great results with coconut, oat, and even cashew milk. Just avoid dairy milk if you're keeping it vegan. The flavor will change slightly, but that's part of the fun!
