Remember that Wide Range of Nutrients We Mentioned?

These tasty pudding cups are a meal-preppers dream!

One of these pudding cups offers six grams of muscle-building protein. Furthermore, each individual serving contains plenty of healthy fat and fiber, both of which will keep you full and focused for hours. 

For this recipe, we decided to use lite coconut milk, as it is lower in fat but still offers the same great flavor as its full-fat counterpart. Coconut milk offers a healthy dose of iron, potassium, and magnesium, which are essential minerals for healthy blood, muscles, and nerves.

Chia seeds and flax seeds are largely responsible for the fiber content of this recipe. They contribute quite a bit of the “good” fats, too. Both of them are rich in minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and more! Chia seeds are also rich in vitamin E, which is important for the health of your blood, brain, skin, and other vital organs. 

Lastly, mangos provide a substantial amount of vitamin C. This vitamin plays an enormous role in growth, healing, and immune health. 

Just a Few Minutes of Prep Time

This yummy recipe is full of nutritious ingredients and flavors.

In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey, and flax seeds. If you would like to turn this into a plant-based recipe, you can substitute honey for a vegan-friendly sweetener like coconut nectar or agave nectar. Once the ingredients are evenly combined, separate the mixture into six separate cups, bowls, or containers.

To prepare the mango, cut around the pit and scoop out the flesh. Place the mango in a food processor and pulse a few times until the mango is mostly smooth. If you don’t have access to a food processor, you can use a blender instead!

Finally, finish preparing the pudding cups by layering the mango on top of each individual serving cup. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 8 hours. When you’re ready to eat them, just grab a pudding cup and dig in!
