Indulge in Chia-Matcha Mango Parfaits, a health-boosting dessert packed with antioxidants and natural sweetness. Perfect for clean eating!
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 cups
- • matcha powder: 1 teaspoon
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • ripe mangoes, peeled and diced: 2 medium
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Stir in the matcha powder until fully dissolved, ensuring there are no lumps. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- 2 Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- 3 Once the chia mixture has set, gently fold in half of the diced mangoes. This will infuse the pudding with a natural sweetness without the need for additional sugars.
- 4 To assemble the parfaits, layer the chia pudding mixture with the remaining diced mango in individual glass jars or cups. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
- 5 Garnish each parfait with fresh mint leaves before serving. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing, nutrient-packed dessert.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Chia-Matcha Mango Delight Parfaits are perfect as a standalone dessert or a refreshing breakfast alternative. For an added touch of indulgence, serve them alongside a cup of hot green tea or a chilled herbal infusion, enhancing the matcha's natural flavors. If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider topping with a handful of toasted almonds or walnuts. To complement the tropical notes of mango, a side of fresh pineapple or papaya slices can be a wonderful addition. Pairing it with a light, citrusy sorbet can also create a delightful contrast and elevate your dessert experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For optimal freshness, keep the mint garnish separate and add it just before serving. If you pre-assemble the parfaits, the mango may soften over time, but it will continue to infuse the chia pudding with its sweetness.
