Mango, Passionfruit & Coconut Chia Pudding

Summer is well and truly on its way, and what could be more refreshing than the combination of mango, passionfruit and coconut? I love all of these amazing flavours, but it's even better made into a nutrient rich, chilled Chia seed pudding!



Ingredients:
1/2 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons chia seed
2 tablespoons organic shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon agave nectar (or sweetener)
1 mango (diced)
1 passionfruit

Method:
Combine almond milk, chia seed, vanilla, and agave nectar in a bowl.
Gently mix in the coconut, 1/2 mango, and 1/2 passionfruit.
Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Once chilled, top with leftover mango & passionfruit.

Yum!

Quirky Mango Salad

Ready for raw? Well here you have it. Normally I'll lightly fry the zucchini or carrot, but not today.  I was craving a big bowl of raw food, uncooked. And it certainly hit the spot!

I called it "quirky mango salad" because there's no real theme to it.... I just threw in whatever was in the fridge, and what seemed like a good idea at the time. After all, there's no rules in cooking ;) The mango popped out at me though and added a great burst of juicy flavour to it.



Ingredients:
1/2 zucchini, chopped
1/2 carrot, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
1 cup baby spinach & rocket
Handful mushrooms, sliced
1 mango, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
Handful macadamia nuts
Sprinkle sunflower seeds
Sprinkle parsley
Sprinkle basil leaves
Sprinkle ground coriander
1 tbsps balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste

Method:
Add all ingredients into a bowl, toss to combine - and you have yourself one raw, quirky mango salad!
