Words and Photos by Hillary Pride This Coconut Mango Sticky Rice is an excellent option if you’re looking to shake things up and level up your backcountry breakfast game. But don’t stop there! Pack it as a fueling fix for any of your backpackin’ meals. Not only is this recipe totally delicious, but it’s also vegan, gluten-free, packed with 19 grams of plant-based protein (including all essential amino acids) and enough fiber to keep your gut happy. Using RightRice gives this recipe the boost in protein and fiber, and the chia seeds give the recipe texture while adding fat, more fiber, and important micronutrients like calcium and iron. Even better, it’s tailor-made for our REpack! COCONUT MANGO STICKY “RICE”Serves one INGREDIENTS(By weight / by volume) 3.0 oz / ½ cup RightRice0.2 oz / 1 tablespoon coconut milk powder0.3 oz / 2 tablespoons freeze dried mango, powdered (this step is DIY!)0.5 oz / 2 tablespoons dried mango, diced0.4 oz / 1 tablespoon chia seeds0.4 oz / 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes 4 fluid ounces hot water METHOD Make the freeze-dried mango powder. Add about half a cup of freeze-dried mango to a blender, food processor, or clean coffee bean grinder and blitz until the mango chunks are powdered. This can be left out if you can’t get your hands-on freeze-dried mango, but it adds a great flavor to the recipe! Next, add all dry ingredients to a quart-size, freezer-safe zip-top reusable bag. To prepare, place the reusable bag inside your REpack and add ½ cup very hot water to the dry ingredients. (This doesn’t need to be at a rolling boil.) Give everything a gentle stir. Seal the bag, close your REpack and let the ingredients work their magic for ten minutes. You may want to give the REpack a gentle massage once or twice to ensure the chia seeds don’t clump. After ten minutes, open that REpack and enjoy yourself some tropical coconut mango goodness! Nutrition Facts (for one serving.
