Simple ingredients for 4 Ingredient Quinoa Flakes Mango Pudding

Mangoes
Maple syrup
Water
Coconut milk
Quinoa flakes

I used unsweetened tetra pack coconut milk for two reasons:

– My preference is always for a low calorie dessert
– I like the lightened texture and not so overwhelming taste of the milk.

However, feel free to use any dairy free milk in this recipe. The taste would be the same.

Instead of regular quinoa I used quinoa flakes to mellow down the flavor of quinoa and bring out the prominent taste of mango. If we use regular quinoa the taste of this pudding would be quite strong and quinoa would be more prominent. Quinoa flakes on the other hand is more subtle in flavor and more versatile.

The most important ingredient in this pudding is the mango. Make sure to buy ripe and soft mangoes. If your mangoes are hard and not ripe you may have to add more water to blend and also add more sweeteners. However, if you use ripe mangoes this dessert will be naturally sweetened. Also, frozen chopped mangoes can be used for this recipe. Just make sure to bring it to the room temperature.

Mangoes are in the season and anything with mangoes is super refreshing. My family loves mangoes and we consume it in many forms. However, I made mango pudding for the first time. As I always intend to add nutrition to my dessert recipes I tweaked it by adding quinoa flakes and made it even more wholesome.
