Mango Chia Pudding

I haven't posted anything up since Tuesday.

I've been in a bit of a slump and stressed over school, among other things.

But I wanted to share with you all this really good eat!

In my opinion, anyways.

Mango Chia Pudding.... The chia seeds form a gel like substance/texture when added to liquid, therefore the "pudding" term.


This is absolutely delicious!

Let this either sit overnight in the refrigerator or for at least 2-3 hours before you eat. I made this in the morning and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours so I could eat it for lunch.




Mango Chia Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 slices of mango
  • 1 Tbs. chia seeds
  • 1 Tbs. almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1/4 cup of almond milk
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)


Directions:
In a bowl, lightly mash up the mango slices so that they are still a bit chunky. Then add in the chia seeds, milk and almond butter. Stir well to combine. Cover and put into the refrigerator either overnight or for at least 2-3 hours. Before you dig in, sprinkle the cinnamon on top.


The end result:

Satisfyingly fulfilling deliciousness!

I love making chia puddings!! I tend to layer them between my overnight oats when I make those, or I stir in some protein powder for a recovery pudding after a workout. SO delicious :)

The recovery pudding is a great idea! I'll have to do that next time. =)
