Instructions

-

3Add the chia seeds to a large bowl and pour the blended mixture over. Whisk the chia seeds in for a good minute, you should see the pudding start to thicken right away. Keep whisking the pudding every 10 minutes or so, until all the chia seeds bloom and the mixture turns a good pudding consistency - about 30 minutes. Distribute the pudding among jars and store in the refrigerator or serve right away. The pudding tastes really good garnished with plant yogurt, coconut flakes, and/or more mango slices.
We have such an exciting giveaway for you today! We recently interviewed Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of single origin spice collective Diaspora Co. on our self-care series and fell in love with Sana and her mission. We were also lucky to get to try their organically farmed, heirloom turmeric and can safely say that it’s next level in every way. It looks like dusted gold and tastes incredibly potent, like the freshest powdered spice we’ve ever tried.
We’re so happy to host a giveaway for a Diaspora Co. turmeric subscription here today. Yes, not just a one time thing but a whole subscription, with a turmeric delivery every 3 months! We also had so much fun coming up with a recipe using the turmeric. This Mango Lassi Chia Pudding is such a decadent and nourishing breakfast. It’s based on toasted coconut-cashew milk and is full of warming spices, as well as sunny notes of fresh, sweet mango. Read on for the giveaway details and the recipe.
Chia pudding is so fun to make because it’s infinitely customizable. We love making an extra creamy nut milk for chia pudding and spicing it up with different fruit, sweeteners, and/or powders. For this recipe, we make a toasted coconut and cashew milk, blended with turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom, as well as fresh mangoes (in season right now and so sweet!) and dates. It then gets mixed with the chia and that’s it – you’re all set with an exciting breakfast for the next couple of days (or maybe even the whole week, this recipe makes quite a bit). We’ll be doing a little Instagram Stories demonstration for how to make this pudding later today, too. Hope you’ll give it a try :)
