Mango Passion Fruit Chia Seed Pudding (food challenge - best breakfast)
Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. They are loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for your body and brain. Chia seeds can absorb up to 10 times their weight in water while forming a gel-like substance which makes them ideal for making jam, jellies, and puddings.
Chia seeds contain high levels of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. They are unprocessed and can easily be absorbed by your body (unlike flaxseed that needs to be ground to release their nutrients).
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 0.5-1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mangoes
- 2 passion fruits centers scooped out with a spoon
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened coconut yogurt or regular yogurt
Instructions
- Mix the chia seeds, vanilla, and almond milk in a bowl. Refrigerate overnight. The first hour you may want to stir the mix occasionally to stop it from clumping – add more almond milk if needed.
- Remove from the fridge after it has set and spoon the mixture into a medium sized jar or glass.
- Blend the mango chunks until smooth. Spoon into the jar, layering it on top of the chia pudding.
- Spoon the yogurt on top of the mango layer and top with the passion fruit flesh.
- Eat right away or keep refrigerated.
You had me at passion fruit...
I love them too! Feeling so blessed to live in the tropics where you have cheap passion fruits all year round!
Passion fruit takes me back to a great memory of the first time I had tasted them. It was in Lima, Peru on my very first international trip outside the US. Since then, they have been my absolute favorite fruit. Any dessert or smoothie with them is hands down my favorite. Since moving to Colorado, I can sporadically get passion fruit, which makes them a rare treasure for me.
Hi I'm agree with your post. I'm from Venezuela and Passion Fruit is my favorite fruit for juice, dessert, ice cream, cake, and other options. I just love it
My favorite use of passion fruit is when I make a juice in the morning of orange, tangerine,mango, carrot, lemon and passion fruit. Without the passion fruit, it's great, but with the addition of passion fruit, it's something absolutely amazing.
I love this! thank you for your info on Chia seeds in general. I never knew they were so much easier to take advantage of than flaxseeds. I'll have to try this recipe.
Enjoy!!! Chia seeds are amazing! Love chia jams too. Just blend chias seeds with any fruit, let sit in the fridge for 1 hour and you have a gelatin- and sugar-free jam.
Sounds healthy and delish! Gonna try this one
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
