Ingredients for Protein Sticky Rice with Mango

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

  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk
  • 400 ml homemade almond milk

Tip: Look for a highly soluble collagen hydrolysate with small peptide molecules—that way, it will blend seamlessly with the almond milk when heated, without leaving any residue or forming lumps.

Preparation: How to Make Sticky Rice Pudding at Home

  1. Mix the ingredients

    Combine psyllium husks, 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 it cool

    Pour into a bowl and let it cool in the refrigerator until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.

  4. Add the mango

    Cut the mango into small cubes and sprinkle them over the pudding before serving. Optionally, top with a little coconut milk or toasted shredded coconut.

Why is collagen hydrolysate included in protein pudding?

Collagen hydrolysate—also known as collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen—provides an additional source of protein that can be easily stirred into both hot and cold dishes. Unlike traditional gelatin powder, collagen hydrolysate does not set; instead, it remains creamy and liquid even after cooling—making it ideal for puddings like this sticky rice with mango.

Our halal collagen peptide powder is made from pure collagen sourced from pasture-raised cattle, contains no additives, and dissolves particularly well thanks to its small peptide size. It can be easily incorporated into your daily routine—in coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, or even in a protein-rich sticky rice pudding.

Tips for the Perfect Pudding Consistency

The consistency of the sticky rice pudding depends mainly on the amount of psyllium husks. If you'd like the pudding to be firmer, you can use half a tablespoon more psyllium husks next time or let it chill longer.

If the pudding has become too thick, adding a splash of almond milk will help when stirring. It's also important to stir continuously while heating so that the collagen hydrolysate dissolves evenly.

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

Variations on the Sticky Rice Pudding Recipe

The basic recipe with collagen hydrolysate is easy to adapt. Here are four popular variations:

🫐 Berries instead of mango

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

🍫 Cocoa Version

Stir in 1 teaspoon of raw cocoa powder to make a protein-rich chocolate pudding.

🌿 Hint of vanilla

Add a little vanilla pulp or vanilla extract for a milder, sweeter flavor.

🥥 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 made without preservatives, you should eat it within 2–3 days.

Note: Add the mango just before serving so that it stays fresh and the pudding doesn't become watery.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Sticky Rice with Mango Protein Bar

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 pasture-raised cattle that were slaughtered in accordance with Islamic ritual slaughter regulations.

Can I make the pudding without collagen?

Yes, the basic recipe works even without collagen hydrolysate. However, you'll be missing out on the extra protein that makes this pudding especially filling.

Why won't my pudding set?

This is usually due to using too few psyllium husks or letting it chill for too short a time. Next time, use a little more psyllium husks and let the pudding set in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes.

How much protein is in the sticky rice pudding?

Adding 4 EL of collagen hydrolysate gives the pudding a significantly higher protein content than traditional sticky rice—the exact amount depends on the product used.

How long does the protein pudding last?

When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the pudding will keep for 2–3 days. Ideally, the mango should be added just before serving.
