Share this blog:

If you’re looking for a tasty way to boost your protein intake, this vegan high-protein mango raspberry chia seed pudding might be exactly what you need. It’s a delicious and easy-to-make treat that works for breakfast, dessert, or a midday snack. Plus, the mango and raspberry combination makes it feel like a sweet treat without adding any guilt!

Chia seeds are small but nutritious. They pack a punch of protein and fiber, making them a super addition to your diet. When you mix them with almond milk and fresh fruits like mangoes and raspberries, you get a creamy pudding that’s good for you.

What You Need

To make vegan high-protein mango raspberry chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few ingredients that pack a punch.

Start with chia seeds. These tiny seeds swell up when you add liquid, making the pudding thick and creamy.

Next, grab some mango. You can use fresh or frozen mangoes. Dice them up for easy blending or mixing.

You’ll also need raspberries. Fresh or frozen works here too. They add a sweet and tangy flavor.

For the liquid, pick almond milk or another plant milk like coconut or soy. It’s your call based on your taste preference.

Don’t forget the protein powder. Vanilla protein powder does typically do very well with mango and raspberry.

A touch of maple syrup can add sweetness if needed. You could also use agave nectar.

Lastly, a spoonful of vanilla extract enhances the flavors and brings everything together nicely. If you’re already using vanilla protein powder you can skip this ingredient if that’s a little too much vanilla for your taste.

Gather these simple ingredients, and you’ll have everything you need to whip up a delicious and nutritious treat!

Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather your chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla extract. You’ll need these as they form the base of your pudding. Measure about 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to start.

Next, grab a ripe mango. Peel it and remove the pit carefully. Then, dice it into small chunks. This will make it easier to blend or mash later.

Get some fresh raspberries. You can use a small handful, which will add a nice tart flavor to the pudding. Make sure to rinse them well under cool water.

Now, set aside a little bit of maple syrup. This will sweeten the pudding naturally. Use it according to your taste preference. Usually, about a tablespoon should be enough.

Get one scoop of protein powder ready as well.

Finally, keep a pinch of salt handy. It might sound unusual, but a bit of salt enhances the flavors. You won’t need much, just a small pinch will do the trick.

Now, with all your ingredients ready, you can move on to making the pudding itself. Everything is set to go for a delicious treat!

Serving Suggestions

• Add fresh mango slices on top for a pop of color and extra sweetness. They balance the tartness of the raspberries and fit the tropical vibe.
• Mix in a handful of raspberries just before serving to keep them fresh and juicy. They add a nice contrast with the chewiness of the chia seeds.
• Try layering your chia seed pudding with coconut yogurt. It adds creaminess and makes the texture more interesting.
• Think about topping it with a sprinkle of granola or crushed nuts. This adds crunch and makes it more filling.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you want a fresh and vibrant look. The slight minty flavor can also add a refreshing note.
• Use pretty glasses or jars for a fancy touch. This makes it feel special and fun, whether it’s breakfast or a snack.
• Keep some extra chia pudding in the fridge if friends come over. It’s an easy and healthy treat that feels like a dessert.

Storage Tips

• To keep your vegan high-protein mango raspberry chia seed pudding fresh, make sure you store it in the fridge. Use airtight containers to lock in the flavors and prevent the pudding from absorbing any unwanted smells.
• Mason jars work great for individual portions. They are easy to grab, and you can see exactly what’s inside. Just close the lid tightly before putting them in your fridge.
• If you’re planning to store it for a longer time, like a week, consider using freezer-safe containers. You can freeze the pudding and thaw it in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to eat it. This way, you can prepare a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week.
• Don’t leave it out of the fridge for too long, especially on warm days. The freshness can be compromised, and the texture might change. Always give it a quick stir before serving, as some separation might occur. That should bring everything back to its creamy goodness.
