Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Milk

Milk provides high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients that support healthy bones and muscles. It also creates a wonderfully creamy texture.

Frozen Mango

Mango is naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, fibre, and antioxidants. Using frozen mango creates an extra thick, ice cream-like consistency without the need for added ice.

Gluten-Free Vanilla Protein Powder

Vanilla protein powder boosts the protein content while supplying essential amino acids that support muscle maintenance, recovery, and long-lasting fullness. It also helps create a light, fluffy texture.

Peanuts

Peanuts provide heart-healthy unsaturated fats, plant-based protein, vitamin E, magnesium, and niacin while adding a satisfying crunch.

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and plant-based protein. They provide additional crunch and valuable minerals.

Autism-Friendly Benefits

The blended mango creates a smooth, creamy texture that many autistic individuals may find enjoyable. The peanuts and sesame seeds can be served separately or omitted if crunchy toppings aren't preferred. Mango provides vitamin C, vitamin A, and natural carbohydrates for energy, while the protein powder and milk contribute high-quality protein to support healthy growth and muscle maintenance. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the consistency, toppings, and sweetness can easily be adapted to suit individual needs.

Tip

Top with fresh mango cubes, sliced banana, blueberries, shredded coconut, chia seeds, hemp hearts, or dark chocolate shavings for extra flavour and nutrition. For an even thicker consistency, freeze the serving bowl for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy immediately for the creamiest texture, or freeze for 15–20 minutes if you prefer a firmer, ice cream-like dessert.
