The Best Summer Treat: Mango Sago Easy Dessert Recipe

I make this often in the summer. And when I do, it gets devoured, sometimes fought over (haha), and people always ask me for the recipe!
Here is one of my favourite summer treats, so refreshing and delicious… my Malaysian side coming out… coconut milk, sago (mini tapioca pearls), fresh mangoes, grass jelly, and more…

If you are like me, you may also want to know some health and nutritional benefits about what we are eating. Here is a quick peak:
Mangoes- packed with vitamin A and C, fiber, folate. Helps boosts immunity, healthy skin and heart health.

Coconut Milk - Rich with MCTs fats, vitamins and minerals. Helps boost metabolism for weight management, helps heart health and immune system.

Grass Jelly - is a traditional Asian herbal jelly dessert (amde from boiling stalks and leaves of a Chinese Mesona plant and provides several health benefits. It is full of disease fighting antioxxidants, helps mantain healthy weight by controlling blood sugar levels, and is a natural body coolant. My favourite is that it is said that grass jelly helps weight loss because it is very low in calories, has zero fat, and is rich in dietary fiber that promotes satiety.

Here is what I use to make the best summer treat, Mango Sago Easy Dessert Recipe:

  • 1 cup sago pearls
  • 2 mangoes, sliced into small cubes
  • 1 can grass jelly, sliced into small cubes
  • 1 jar coconut jelly
  • 2 cans coconut milk
  • 2 cups of ice
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk (optional)

Here is what I do:

1.  Boil water in a large pot. Add sago pearls and stir over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes to prevent pearls from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

2. Remove the pot from heat and cover for 5-10 minutes. Let the pearls cook and the white centres disappear. Drain the water and run the pearls under cold water until they are no longer hot.

3. Cut mangoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Add them into a large bowl. Do the same with the grass jelly.

4. In the large bowl with the cut mangoes and grass jelly, add in the cooled drained sago pearls, coconut jelly,  coconut milk, condensed milk, and ice cubes. Stir until combined. Add more condensed milk if you want it to be sweeter. It is ready to serve and enjoy!

Make sure to cover and store in the refrigerator.  The sago will thicken once chilled and will get thicker as it sits. Just add more coconut milk to the sago to loosen it back up.

Okay, it is time to make some! I hope you enjoy the best summer treat, mango sago dessert!

Smiles and hugs,

Why does my child have nosebleeds?

Why does my child have nosebleeds?

Nosebleeds can be a common occurrence in children, and as a parent, it can be concerning and even alarming to see your child's nose suddenly start bleeding. While nosebleeds can be quite unsettling, they are usually not a cause for major concern. In this blog post, we will explore some of the reasons why your child may be experiencing nosebleeds and what you can do to help.

Common Causes of Nosebleeds in Children

1. Dry air: Dry air, especially during the winter months when indoor heating is used, can cause the nasal passages to become dry and irritated. This can lead to nosebleeds.

2. Nose picking: Children often have a habit of picking their noses, which can cause irritation and lead to nosebleeds. It's essential to teach your child not to pick their nose and to use tissues instead.

3. Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages, making them more prone to nosebleeds. Identifying and managing your child's allergies can help reduce the frequency of nosebleeds.

What to Do When Your Child Has a Nosebleed

1. Stay calm:

It's important to stay calm and reassure your child during a nosebleed. Panicking can make the situation more stressful for both of you.

2. Have your child sit up straight:

Ask your child to sit up straight and tilt their head slightly forward. This position helps prevent blood from flowing down the throat.

3. Pinch the nostrils:

Using your thumb and index finger, gently pinch the soft part of your child's nose together. Maintain the pressure for about 10 minutes to help stop the bleeding.

4. Apply a cold compress:

Placing a cold compress or ice pack on the bridge of your child's nose can help constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding. Wrap the compress in a cloth to prevent direct contact with the skin.

When to Seek Medical Attention

In most cases, nosebleeds in children can be managed at home. However, there are instances when medical attention may be necessary. Consider seeking medical help if:

  • The nosebleed lasts for more than 20 minutes.
  • Your child experiences frequent nosebleeds.
  • The bleeding is heavy or difficult to control.
  • Your child has other symptoms, such as dizziness or pale skin.

Preventing Nosebleeds in Children

While it may not be possible to prevent all nosebleeds, there are steps you can take to reduce their occurrence:

  • Keep the air humidified: Use a humidifier in your child's room, especially during dry seasons, to add moisture to the air and prevent nasal dryness.
  • Encourage proper nose hygiene: Teach your child to blow their nose gently and avoid excessive nose picking.
  • Manage allergies: Work with your child's pediatrician to identify and manage any allergies that may be contributing to nosebleeds.

Remember, nosebleeds in children are usually not a cause for major concern. By understanding the common causes, knowing how to handle a nosebleed, and taking preventive measures, you can help ensure your child's comfort and well-being.

Warmly,
