Tips and tricks:
- The European Food Safety Authority recommends not exceeding 15 grams of chia seeds in daily consumption. In addition, it is recommended that those who take anticoagulant medications consult their doctor before consumption, since the seeds have this same property.
- Chia seeds adopt an ideal consistency for pudding after absorbing the liquid, which is why it is convenient to prepare it in advance.
- Mango matches perfectly with the chia and coconut milk base. And to give it a subtle and unusual touch, season with a little ground coriander seeds.
- Other ideal fruits would be strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or any red fruit in general. A very good autumnal alternative is the kaki, in this case it is advisable to use a very ripe one. This allows to to make a puree with it very easily.
- It’s convenient to prepare a good amount for a few days of chia, but in this case consider that coconut milk should be ideally consumed in 3 or 4 days.
