Cashew Milk Chia Pudding with Mango Cream
Chia seeds have been gaining a lot of attention lately around the Western world. They have been called “superfoods” for a reason – high content of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and many other vitamins and nutrients which are essential for a healthy female body. Chia seeds have the ability to absorb water that’s 27 times the size of the seed itself. For that reason when you consume chia seeds you will feel satisfied longer and won’t be tempted to reach for treats. As a health coach I often recommend my clients to start their day with a balanced breakfast, and this chia pudding is perfect. A great combination of healthy fats and protein from chia seeds and cashews, fiber from fresh mango is a great way to start the day!
Ingredients:
- 1½ cup cashew milk
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- pinch of Himalayan sea salt

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use almond milk instead of cashew milk?
Absolutely, gorgeous! While cashew milk gives it a really creamy texture, almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk works perfectly fine. Use whatever you have in your fridge.
Is this recipe good for weight loss?
Yes, it can be! Because chia seeds expand in your stomach and are packed with fiber, they keep you full for a long time. This helps prevent snacking on empty calories later in the day.
My chia pudding is too runny, what did I do wrong?
Don't worry, babe, it happens! Usually, this means you might need a few more seeds or it just needs to sit longer. Give it a good stir and let it sit for another hour. If it's still runny, add another teaspoon of chia seeds and wait about 30 minutes.
