Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is such a go-to in my home! It’s incredibly simple to make, and it’s packed full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Not to mention, chia pudding is really freaking cool looking! It makes me think of space food. 👽
It’s easy to make your chia pudding fancy, too. Blend your milk (prior to stirring chia seeds in) with strawberries to make a pink pudding. Looking for a little extra protein + nutrient punch? Blend the milk with some of your fav protein powder for that extra gain! There are endless opportunities for flavors with your pudding. Just make sure you don’t blend the chia seeds, you’ll end up with a different consistency and appearance.
Chia seeds are a valuable staple for any pantry, but especially a plant-based one. They make an excellent addition to a smoothie, and can be used as an egg-replacer when baking.
Chia seeds are most commonly known as a plant-based source of omega-3, but they also contain important minerals like calcium, selenium, and iron. Overall, chia seeds rock!
