This recipe is a keeper for hot summer afternoons! I’m planning on making this a few more times in the final lead up to my Tough
Mudder event as it was so hydrating and refreshing and I’m in full on hydration
mode... irrespective of the fact that the weather in England is still dull and
cold most days!
This keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days so make a
double batch if you’ve got a hot spell on... and grab a big spoonful whenever you pass the fridge!
I’m also now wondering whether this mixture could be
frozen into ice lollies...that thought literally just popped into my head so I
have not yet had a chance try it out....sounds like it could work?
I added a tsp of maca powder as I often try to add it
into my ‘fitfood’ recipes for an extra boost and to assist adrenal recovery,
but that is totally optional and won’t affect the taste or texture.
Recipe: Tropical
chia summer pudding
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 heaped tbs white chia seeds (dark will work fine too
but won’t look so pretty!)
1 banana- mashed well
1 tsp maca powder (optional)
½ cup fresh pineapple
¼ cup coconut water (or substitute regular filtered
water)
Coconut sprinkles and mint to decorate (optional)
Method:
Blend all
ingredients together until smooth. Or if you prefer a chunkier consists you
could whip everything together lightly with a fork. (I whipped mine until almost smooth)
Allow to chill
and thicken in the fridge for at least an hour before consuming.
