Full fat coconut milk, hemp hearts, and soy milk.
Substitutions
Most of these ingredients are necessary to achieve the right flour and texture, but you could swap the hemp hearts for sesame seeds for a more authentic garnish.
Mango Sticky Rice Recipe Notes
The sushi rice used in this recipe is essential to for that sticky texture you're looking for with the sweet rice. My fourite brand is this organic Californian brand called Lundberg Farms. They make the best sushi rice!
While you could use low fat coconut milk, I don't recommend it. You want it to be rich and creamy so use the full fat.
If you want to make this soy free you could substitute a different milk like cashew or oat milk. But soy milk does add a certain richness the other milks won't, plus it adds to the protein content.
You could consider switching the hemp hearts for a more traditional sesame seed topping. Keeping in mind, the hemp seeds will add more protein per calorie.
Since you're buying mango, why not grab a few more and make this Spicy Mango Tofu Bowl!

Protein Mango Sticky Rice
Recipe makes 4 servings
Macros per serving:
368 cals - 12g fat - 49g carbs - 16g protein
Ingredients: 1 cup, dry, sushi rice 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk, from a can 1 cup soy milk 1 scoop vanilla protein powder(code: EVANNRYAN ses you $$) 1/4 cup hemp hearts 2 mangos, peeled, sliced, and chopped into cubes
Instructions: Cook the rice according to package directions. If you're using the one I've linked (its the best BTW!) I find it usually needs more water to rice than suggested. I do 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. While the rice cooks make the coconut sauce by adding to a blender: coconut milk, soy milk, and vanilla protein powder. Blend until smooth and mixed. Peel and slice your mango into chunks, and set aside. Once the rice is done cooking but still hot pour in 95% of the coconut/soy milk mixture. I like to keep 4 tbsp to add to the top of the rice at the finish so it's extra pretty! Add in hemp hearts and mix the hot rice, coconut milk mix, and hemp seeds together really well. Using a cup measurement scoop 3/4 cup rice mix into each meal prep container. Add chopped mango on the side. Using a spoon, spoon a tablespoon of remaining coconut milk mixture onto the top of each rice bowl. Top with additional hemp seeds if desired. For meal prep I like to put the hot containers in the fridge with no lid to cool completely. Once cooled I seal each container and keep in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
