If you're still in holiday-mode, and nearly ready to be feeling a bit more at home in your body again, but still not quite ready to say goodbye to pudding-life, then this Chia Pudding is the perfect middle ground to see you through!
Packed with nutrients, fresh fruit, and healthy fats, Chia Pudding ticks all the boxes when it comes to quick, easy, no cooking required, satiating, and delicious.
Chia seeds are a rich source of omega-3s, which we know support wellness of the whole body by fighting inflammation. And by tackling inflammation, we're taking care of a wide range of issues from joint pain, to low mood, to skin issues and lots in between!
Soaking chia seeds make them easier on the digestive system. Leaving them in the coconut milk or cream overnight counts as the soaking—you don't need to give them a pre-assembly soak too. Also containing a lot of fibre, soaked chia seeds give your gut a good 'sweeping'.
We love making the most of delicious fresh berries while they're in season. When you eat fresh food mindfully, you really can taste the nutrients!
And of course, we'll take nearly any opportunity to add peanut butter to a meal where we can.
