Mango Cardamom Chia Pudding
It's the time of year to lighten up desserts and snacking, and I have the perfect little recipe for just that, my Mango Cardamom Chia Pudding. It's sweet, creamy, mango-y, fun & bright, and healthy to boot. Let's get cardamom-y:
I love cardamom in sweet foods, it just adds a little something extra that's unexpected..in a really good way. And I love simple to make snacks, because who doesn't need more of those, right?
Mango Cardamom Chia Pudding is a healthy 5 ingredient snack that's packed with protein and is filling yet light. Make 2 hours ahead of time, or just pop it in the fridge the night before for a ready to go anytime mini meal. Can easily be made vegan by using your favorite non-dairy milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
Ingredients
Scale1x2x3x
¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup low-fat milk or almond milk
¼ teaspoon cardamom
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ mango, cubed
Instructions
In a mason jar, add the chia seeds and milk, stir and let sit for 10 minutes. Then stir again to break up all clumps.
Add in cardamom and honey or maple syrup, stir. Place in fridge for 2 hours or more to set.
To a separate mason jar, layer by adding some of the cubed mango, then the chia pudding, then more mango. Enjoy cold.
Mango Cardamom Chia Pudding will keep well in the fridge for a day or 2. If you need it to last longer than that, just keep the pudding on its own in the fridge. When ready to eat, add fruit.
