USING KENSINGTON PRIDE MANGOES
About the Recipe
This chia pudding recipe is not only perfect for breakfast or dessert during the hot summer months, but also happens to be simple to make and super healthy.
Chia seeds have received a lot of attention in recent years for their ‘superfood’ status and popularity among health-conscious consumers. In fairness, chia sees are a great source of fibre, plant protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The little suckers have also been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
A fun fact about chia seeds is that they can absorb over 10 times their weight in water - which makes them perfect for healthy breakfast pudding or dessert recipes such as this.
