This has been my go-to chia pudding these past few months, so I wanted share this simple recipe with you!
Chia Seeds Health Benefits
Chia seeds are powerhouse seeds! They are high in Omega 3’s (making them a great brain food), high in fiber (they swell to 10-12 times their size once they soak in liquid), high in antioxidants, and are a well known source to help with fat loss due to their high fiber & ability to help with insulin sensitivity.
Connect To The Why
Although chia seeds might take a bit to get used to their gel-like texture, I think the benefits are more than worth it.
It always helps to know the benefits of what you are eating. If you connect to the why, it pushes you to keep on trying something. You never know, you might just start enjoying whatever it is one day. I’ve definitely changed my mind about certain foods by continually trying them. Sometimes I just had to change up the way I ate them.
My Go-To Chia Pudding
One Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk, many mason jars have the measurements right on the side!
- 3 TBSP chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1 heaping spoonful of raw honey, be generous, I just squeeze it right in
Note: I linked the chia seeds and raw honey brands I have, but I bought both for less at Costco.
Method
- Add everything to a small lidded mason jar or similar.
- Stir it well. I also put on the cover after and shake it a bit.
- Store in the fridge to let the chia seeds expand for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Give it another good stir once you are ready to eat it. Top with extra cinnamon and/or a drizzle of honey if you wish. ENJOY!
Tip: This is an easy one to pack for lunches as long as you have a refrigerator at work. I combine everything in a mason jar for my husband and send it out the door as is (without being refrigerated yet). He refrigerates it at work and by the time he’s ready to eat it, the chia seeds have expanded.
