Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für zusätzlichen Proteinschub kann dem Pudding eine Portion ungesüßtes oder Vanille-Proteinpulver hinzugefügt werden. Achte darauf, gut zu verrühren, damit keine Klümpchen entstehen. Die Chia-Samen sollten mindestens vier Stunden quellen, idealerweise über Nacht, für die perfekte puddingartige Konsistenz.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Wenn du Mango nicht zur Hand hast oder eine andere Geschmacksrichtung ausprobieren möchtest, kannst du Beeren oder Ananas als fruchtige Alternative verwenden. Für eine vegane Variante einfach Skyr durch eine pflanzliche Joghurtalternative ersetzen und darauf achten, dass der Süßstoff vegan ist.

Serviervorschläge

Serviere das Skyr Protein Chia Pudding pur oder garniert mit frischen Mango-Scheiben, gerösteten Kokosflocken, gehackten Pistazien oder Mandeln und ein paar Minzblättern für einen frischen Farbeffekt sowie zusätzlichen Geschmack und Textur.
