Mango Chia Pudding

Mango Chia Pudding

The tropical freshness of real mango, blended with Healthy Chef Protein, turmeric, chia seeds and pure coconut – is my perfect breakfast of the moment. The recipe is featured in my cookbook Purely Delicious and is rich in protein and omega-3s. Each serve is packed with 10 grams soluble and insoluble fibre to help maintain and lower blood cholesterol as well as support digestive health. The protein in chia is essential for supporting cell regeneration, healthy muscles, hair, skin and nails. Chia is also high in vitamin B that promotes a healthy metabolism - perfect for weight management.
