Hello my lovelies! I’ve got a tummy and taste-bud approved recipe to share with you 🙂 Chia seed pudding is blowing up all over the place and for good reason. These tiny little pearls of deliciousness are an amazing source of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and a shockingly high amount of protein. I’ve created this simple and delicious recipe to help get you moving in more ways than one!

Fibre helps regulate digestion and keep things running smoothly. But these little suckers sop up to 9X’s their weight in water so drink up and keep hydrated to avoid the opposite effects.

 Since Chia is such a wonderful source of protein and fibre, it helps to balance blood sugars keeping you fuller longer and helps you avoid turning into the mid-day cookie monster.

Omega-3 fatty acids are wonderful for brain health and powerful inflammation fighters!

I love whipping up a batch of this decadent breakfast pudding before bed so it’s perfectly ready and waiting for me in the fridge in the morning. Simple, healthy, hearty and delicious. Get it in ya and remember to bite with love.

2. *TIP- I like to stir mine after the first 15 mins in the fridge to prevent clumping*
3. After it has set, top with chopped orange, shredded coconut, sliced banana, hemp seeds and leftover ¼ tsp grated orange peel. To make it extra decadent, I like to drizzle 1 Tbsp of coconut milk for a rich and creamy texture treat.
