I stumbled on a recipe for coconut mango "tapioca" the other day and had to try it. Instead of tapioca, this recipe uses chia seeds. Yes, the same chia seeds that you use to grow a chia pet. Turns out these seeds have a high nutritional value. They're full of omega-3 fatty acids and loaded with fiber. Awesome!
The pudding, which can be found here on Skinnytaste, is pretty tasty. It makes quite a bit - maybe 1.5-2 cups worth? - and serves 2, so you get a good amount in a portion. I prefer warm puddings, so when I tried it right out of the fridge I didn't like it. I tried warming it in the microwave but it got too runny that way. Instead, I let it sit out and come to room temp. That was perfect. Sweet, creamy, delicious.
Next time I am going to put more coconut in it. My mom also had the idea of layering it with various fruits for a fruit parfait. I'm thinking pineapple, mango...what other tropical type fruits could I use? Anyway, for a 3 points plus treat it was quite delicious!
