Imz Chia Seed Pudding
How to make chia pudding
Start with a mason jar of almond milk (or any milk you’d like), some chia seeds and honey (or any other sweetener you’d like). You can also leave out the sweetener if you prefer to sweeten it only with toppings like fresh fruit, dried fruit or chocolate chips. You can also opt for protein powder if you want added protein!
The ratio is everything! There are different recommendations for the best chia pudding ratio out there. I’ve made this 100 times and in the end, the ratio I found that works best is 1 tablespoon chia seeds to 1/4 cup of milk (add a bit more milk if you use protein powder). To make it into a complete , I like to measure 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for every half cup of milk. You can play around with the measurements to find the consistency you like best.
Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet.
They’re loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for your body and brain.
Why is Chia Pudding Healthy?
One of the biggest questions I get from my followers and friends is what to eat for a snack. I personally like the check off three things when it comes to snacking:
High in fiber – good for blood sugar control, cholesterol levels and gut health
High in protein – good for building lean muscle
Contains healthy fats – good for helping you feel satiated
This is essentially what’s going to satisfy your in-between meal cravings and taper your appetite until your next meal. For me, one of the best snacks that meets these snack goals is my Chia Pudding.
Not a bad snack or breakfast right? And the beauty of it is that you can store them in the fridge for a whole week, and grab one when you’re hungry. I like topping mine with fresh fruit, nuts, shredded coconut, peanut butter, hemp seeds, granola… all the toppings. It makes such a great option!
Peace, Love, Eat Good,
