Calories 148kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1-1½ cups water
- 2 mangos peeled & chopped
- 6 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional ingredients:
- 2-3 strawberries thinly sliced for decoration
Instructions
Step 1: make the chia gel
- Combine the water and chia seeds in a bowl and stir well for a couple of minutes.
- Set aside for 20-30 minutes to allow the seeds to expand. Stir 3 or 4 times.
Step 2: make the pudding
- Blend the mango pulp, yoghurt, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the chia gel and whiz again until well mixed.
- Thinly slice the strawberries. Place a slice inside each popsicle mould and press against the side.
- Gently pour in the mango mixture, filling the icy pole moulds to about 3/4 full. Set in the freezer overnight, or at least 4 to 5 hours.
- To remove popsicles from the moulds, run under hot water for a few secs.
Notes
This recipe will make 4-6 popsicles, depending on the size of your moulds.
When making the chia gel, start with 1 cup of water and add more if the seeds don't look like they're fully expanded.
For a crunchy topping, add a sprinkle of muesli or granola into the moulds before you pour in the pudding mixture.
