Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is a convenient and nutrient-dense option that can support overall well-being and provide antioxidant protection against cellular damage.
The chia seeds are rich in essential nutrients such as fiber, protein, healthy fats, calcium, and antioxidants. The high fiber content supports healthy digestion and can contribute to a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management. Chia seeds also provide omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and help regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, the gel-like consistency of chia seeds helps retain hydration and provides a sustained energy boost.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for topping
Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries
1 serving scoop of Multi-Collagen Protein Powder
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, or maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
After the chilling period, give the mixture a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
If desired, add your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds as toppings for added flavor and texture. I personally love to add Blueberries and Raspberries.
Serve the chia pudding in bowls or glasses and enjoy it as a nutritious and satisfying breakfast or snack.
You can also experiment with different flavor variations by adding ingredients like cocoa powder, cinnamon, mashed fruits, or nut butter to the chia pudding mixture before refrigerating. Adjust the sweetness and consistency according to your preference by adding more or less honey/maple syrup and milk.
