Some tips to help you make these mango chia brekkie pops
- You’ll need to use a high-speed blender to make a smooth and creamy pudding.
- Allow at least 20 minutes for the chia seeds to expand, and add more water if you need to. Keep any leftover chia gel in the fridge to use in smoothies or baking.
- Greek yoghurt gives a slight tang, so use coconut cream or even regular double cream if you prefer sweeter popsicles.
- For a crunchy topping, add a sprinkle of muesli or granola into the bottom of the popsicle moulds, before you pour in the pudding mixture.
- To remove the frozen popsicles from their moulds, run them under warm-hot water for a few seconds.
