Breakfast/ Dessert

Mango Quinoa Coconut Pudding

Is it breakfast or dessert? Well you can kind of make it appropriate for whichever “meal” you like! I find it sweet enough with the coconut milk and mango base but you add a touch of maple syrup if you fancy a sweeter hit. When you’ve meal prepped far too much quinoa and you simply just need another alternative way to jazz it up.

Well there is no better way to jazz up leftover quinoa than to turn it in to a luxurious breakfast/pudding. It’s simple to make, and made all that bit more foolproof and speedy with the use of frozen mango chunks. I hate buying fresh mango’s because it’s so hit and miss. You can’t beat a beautifully fresh mango, but there is nothing more annoying than when you pay a fortune for two “perfectly ripe” mango’s only to slice into them to reveal a dry, slightly aniseed scented, firm fruit, that is seriously lacking in the juiciness stakes.

The combination of the naturally sweet coconut and mango is truly magical. A taste of the tropics, sunshine in a bowl that just can’t fail to put a smile on your face and a matching one in your belly. I of course went with toasted coconut, some fresh mango, a little mint and some roast finely chopped pistachios to top it all off. As well as dollop of coconut yogurt for a final flourish of creaminess.
