Today’s Special: Mango Basil Chia Seed Pudding

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delicious dessert recipe that’s perfect for those warm summer days when you’re craving something cool and refreshing. This Mango Basil Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy and flavorful treat that combines the sweetness of mango with the herbaceous notes of fresh basil, all tied together with the texture of chia seeds. Trust me, this dessert is a game-changer!

To make this Mango Basil Chia Seed Pudding, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 200g)
• Handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped (about 20g)
• 3 tbsp chia seeds (about 30g)
• 1 cup coconut milk (about 240ml)
• 2 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Granola for topping

Before you get started, make sure you have the following kitchen tools on hand:

• blender
• mixing bowl
• spoon
• mason jars or dessert cups

Begin by placing the diced mango, chopped basil, chia seeds, coconut milk, and honey (if using) into the blender. Blend everything together until smooth and well combined. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the chia seeds to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir to ensure everything is well incorporated. Divide the pudding into individual mason jars or dessert cups and top each serving with a sprinkle of granola for some added crunch.

This Mango Basil Chia Seed Pudding recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of this delicious dessert contains approximately 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to lightly crush the chia seeds before adding them to the blender. This will help release their natural thickening properties and create a creamier pudding texture.
