This week’s Friday Faves is a creamy, tropical and naturally sweet snack that’s perfect for a cozy Friday night—Mango Chia Pudding! It’s packed with fiber, omega-3s and a refreshing fruity flavor.
Quick Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango (or 2 cups frozen mango), blended until smooth
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened plant milk (oat or almond works great)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or date syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Shredded coconut or fresh thawed mango chunks for topping
- Whisk together chia seeds, plant milk and maple syrup in a jar.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best texture).
- When ready to serve, layer with blended mango and top with coconut flakes or thawed mango chunks.
- Enjoy a cool, creamy and tropical snack!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
