Description

This Protein Mango Chia Pudding is a nutritious and delicious breakfast or snack option that combines creamy vanilla protein, chia seeds, and fresh mango for a refreshing, high-protein treat. It’s easy to prepare, requires no cooking, and is perfect for those seeking a healthy, protein-packed vegan-friendly dish.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp coconut extract or vanilla extract

Mango Puree

  • ½ cup pureed mango (about 1 ripe mango)

Optional Garnishes

  • Toasted coconut
  • Fresh mango chunks

Instructions

  1. Mix protein and milk: In a bowl or glass jar, whisk together the Fairlife 2% milk and vanilla protein powder until smooth and no clumps remain.
  2. Add chia and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds, maple syrup, and coconut or vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 15 minutes to allow chia seeds to start absorbing liquid.
  3. Refrigerate chia pudding: After 15 minutes, stir the pudding again, cover it, and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to fully thicken.
  4. Prepare mango puree: Before serving, peel and puree your ripe mango using a blender or food processor until smooth.
  5. Layer the pudding and mango: In a mason jar or serving glass, add a layer of chia pudding, then a layer of mango puree. Repeat the layers once more, finishing with a final layer of chia pudding on top.
  6. Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes and/or fresh mango chunks for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute cow’s milk with plant-based milk and choose a plant-based protein powder.
  • Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor in the puree.
  • You can prepare the chia pudding the night before for convenience.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or fewer chia seeds according to your preference.
  • To toast coconut, spread flakes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, watching carefully to avoid burning.
