Ingredients for Protein Sticky Rice with Mango

You only need a few ingredients for this simple recipe. The base consists of psyllium husk, almond milk, shredded coconut, and high-quality collagen hydrolysate (also known as collagen peptides).

  • 400 ml homemade almond milk

    Combine psyllium husk, almond milk, shredded coconut, and collagen hydrolysate in a pot.

  2. Heat over medium heat

    Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  3. Let cool

    Dice the mango and add it to the pudding before serving. Optionally top with a little coconut milk or toasted shredded coconut.

Why Collagen Hydrolysate in Protein Pudding?

Collagen hydrolysate—also called collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen—provides an additional protein source that can be effortlessly stirred into warm and cold foods. Unlike classic gelatin powder, collagen hydrolysate does not set into a gel but remains creamy and liquid even after cooling—ideal for puddings like this sticky rice with mango.

Our Halal Collagen Peptides powder consists of pure collagen from grass-fed cattle, is free from additives, and is particularly soluble thanks to its small peptide size. It can be flexibly integrated into daily life—in coffee, smoothies, porridge, or even a high-protein sticky rice pudding.

Tips for the perfect pudding consistency

The consistency of the sticky rice pudding depends primarily on the amount of psyllium husk. If you want a firmer pudding, you can use half a tablespoon more psyllium husk next time or extend the chilling time.

If the pudding has become too firm, a dash of extra almond milk while stirring helps. It is also important to stir continuously while heating so that the collagen hydrolysate dissolves evenly.

Pro tip: For a more intense aroma, toast the shredded coconut in a pan before serving and sprinkle it over the pudding.

Variations for the Sticky Rice Pudding recipe

The base recipe with collagen hydrolysate can be easily adapted. Here are four popular variations:

🫐 Berries instead of mango

Use fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries instead of mango as a fruity topping.

🍫 Cocoa variation

Stir in 1 tsp raw cocoa powder for a high-protein chocolate pudding.

🌿 Vanilla note

Add some vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract for a milder, sweeter flavor profile.

🥥 Without shredded coconut

Omit the shredded coconut or replace it with chopped almonds for a different texture.

Storing the protein pudding

Store the sticky rice pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Since it is prepared without preservatives, you should consume it within 2–3 days.

Note: Only add the mango shortly before serving so that it stays fresh and the pudding does not become watery.

FAQ about Protein Sticky Rice with Mango

What is the difference between collagen hydrolysate and collagen peptides?

Collagen hydrolysate and collagen peptides refer to the same product: hydrolyzed collagen that has been broken down into small peptide chains, making it particularly easy to dissolve in liquids.

Is collagen hydrolysate Halal?

Animal Based Collagen Hydrolysate is Halal-certified and comes exclusively from grass-fed cattle slaughtered according to Islamic ritual slaughter guidelines.

Can I also prepare the pudding without collagen?

Yes, the base recipe also works without collagen hydrolysate. However, you will miss out on the additional protein content that makes this pudding particularly satiating.

Why isn't my pudding setting?

This is usually due to too little psyllium husk or not enough chilling time. Next time, use a little more psyllium husk and let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes.

How much protein does the sticky rice pudding contain?

With 4 tbsp of collagen hydrolysate, the pudding has a significantly higher protein content than classic sticky rice—the exact amount depends on the product used.

How long does the protein pudding keep?

The pudding keeps for 2–3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. Ideally, the mango should only be added just before serving.
