Mango chia pudding
Instructions
Tips
Make sure you choose the right mango. A ripe mango will yield to gentle pressure and feel somewhat soft but not mushy. It should also feel slightly heavier in your hand due to the juicy flesh inside, and it will typically emit a sweet, fruity aroma once it is ripe.
Tips
Choose between black and white chia seeds. Black chia seeds have a slightly stronger, nuttier flavour, while white chia seeds are milder.
Tips
Give the chia seeds ample time to soak up the liquid and swell up, which usually takes about four hours. However, leaving it in the fridge overnight allows the seeds to fully hydrate and achieve a perfect pudding consistency. In addition, it saves you time in the morning when all you need to do is to add your preferred toppings.

Choose the perfect toppings for the occasion
One of the best things about our mango chia pudding is the ability to customise the toppings to suit your taste and the occasion. Want to dial up the sweetness? A drizzle of honey will not only heighten the natural sweetness but also add a lovely smooth texture. Dried fruits, like raisins, apricots, or cranberries, offer a chewy contrast to the creamy pudding while adding a concentrated burst of fruity sweetness. But perhaps you prefer a bit of crunch? Toasted nuts, such as almond slivers, walnuts, or pistachios, give a pleasant crunch and impart a rich, earthy flavour that beautifully complements the tropical vibe of mango. Granola, with its toasted oats and nuts, is another fantastic option, adding a satisfying crunch and a subtle toasty flavour. Ultimately, it is all about striking the right balance to complement the creamy, tropical base of the mango chia pudding. So do not be afraid to experiment and find your favourite combination.
