Chia Pudding with Mango and Coconut

A fiber-rich breakfast or recovery snack for energy, fat loss, and recovery

At Aurora Personal Training in Eindhoven, we look beyond training alone. Nutrition plays a crucial role in energy levels, recovery, and body composition.
This chia pudding with mango and coconut is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can create a breakfast or snack that truly supports your body.

Ideal for:

  • Athletes who want to eat light yet nourishing

  • People working on fat loss

  • Early training sessions or busy workdays

Why chia pudding works so well

Chia seeds are among the most nutrient-dense staples within an active lifestyle. They support not only training performance, but also digestion and sustained energy.

Chia seeds are rich in:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids → support recovery and inflammation control

  • Fiber → promote long-lasting satiety and stable blood sugar levels

  • Plant-based protein → supports muscle recovery

  • Minerals such as calcium and magnesium

👉 This fits perfectly with our vision on sustainable nutrition and muscle growth.
