Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder
• 1.5 cups coconut milk
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
• 0.25 cup coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Soak the rice in water for at least 1 hour, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, protein powder, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and protein powder dissolve completely.

Step 4

Add the drained rice to the coconut milk mixture and stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 6

While the rice is cooking, soak the chia seeds in the coconut cream and set aside for at least 10 minutes, allowing them to thicken.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes off the heat to steam and fluff up.

Step 8

Stir the chia cream mixture into the cooked sticky rice until well combined.

Step 9

Serve the warm sticky rice with the sliced mangoes on top, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
