Here on Maui there is a mango tree on almost every street, and come April the trees are packed with ripe and juicy mangoes. Today we wanted to share three different recipes to incorporate them into your meals! We know that not everyone is lucky enough to be able to walk a block away from their house to a tree full of ripe fruit… but thankfully costcos and trader joes all over the main land have y’all covered!

One of my favorite things to have for breakfast is an easy 4 ingredient chia pudding! This pudding is so thick and creamy, and tastes absolutely amazing!

Vegan Mango Chia Pudding

servings: 4

What you’ll need:

• 2 large mangoes
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1.5 cups milk alternative (I prefer coconut milk)
• 1-2 TBSP sweetener of your choice (optional (agave, honey, maple syrup, etc.))

In a blender, puree 1 of the mangoes and chop the other into small pieces. Next, Combine and whisk together the puree, chia, milk alternative, and your chosen sweetener in a bowl. Mix in the fresh pieces of mango and place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Scoop into a cup and top with fresh mango & coconut flakes! Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or a snack! So delicious and super filling as well!

Mango Bread

I have a serious obsession with banana bread so this mango bread is a dream come true and so so simple. This recipe doesn’t call for anything crazy, so that means no running to the store for an ingredient you will only use once, which will undoubtedly end up sitting in the back of your pantry for the years to come. I wish I could claim that the recipe below is super healthy, but hey, the truth is, its got processed sugar… sometimes ya gotta splurge. We’re doin our best to find a balance, and when it comes to baking ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

• 1/2 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1/2 of an onion (diced)
• 2 TBSP lime juice (fresh)
• 3 TBSP chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 3 TBSP chopped green onion
• 1 TBSP finely chopped purple cabbage

• 

• 

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl!
2. Taste! – add salt or lime if needed.
3. Enjoy!!

^^The mango salsa is pictured above being served with our vegan tacos!! This was literally my favorite meal we have ever made.

The salsa would also be great with chips, as well as on Nachos. It is an extremely versatile food and would pair well with almost anything!
