Mango, Coconut and Lime Chia Puddings with Mint Recipe

Serves

4 for pudding or 2 for breakfast

Ingredients

4tbsp chia seeds
2tbsp milled flax seeds
180 ml/6floz coconut milk, plus extra to drizzle, optional
50ml juice from 1-2 limes
250g mango flesh (about 1 mango), plus extra for serving
10 medium-large mint leaves
pinch Himalayan pink salt
generous pinch ground cardamom
1tsp baobab powder, optional
50g ice cubes

Method

Combine the chia seeds and milled flax seeds with the coconut milk. Stir well and leave for at least 15 minutes to swell up, or make the night before and leave in the fridge until the next day.

Put the soaked seeds in a blender with the rest of the ingredients, and baobab powder if using, leaving the ice cubes until last.

Blend until completely smooth, then add the ice cubes for extra freshness. Blend once more until completely smooth. Pour into the glasses and layer with cubes of fresh mango if desired.

Finish with your preferred toppings, drizzle with a little extra coconut milk, if you wish, and serve immediately.

This will keep well in the fridge for at least three days, so make a large batch at the beginning of the week. Enjoy it on its own for breakfast, or add extras like homemade granola, seeds, bee pollen, goji berries, dried coconut, nuts and fresh fruit.
