As many of us know, chia seeds contain 10 times more Omega-3 than salmon, 9 times more antioxidants than oranges, 4 times more iron than spinach, 5 times more calcium than whole milk, and 15 times more magnesium than broccoli.
Chia pudding has a unique creamy consistency and is a rich source of plant-based proteins, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Ingredients (for one serving):
- 1 heaping tablespoon chia seeds
- 100ml milk (or 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 banana
- 1 tablespoon chokeberry (fresh or frozen)
- 4-5 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions:
In a small jar or smoothie glass, add the milk, chia seeds, honey, and sugar. Stir well, close the lid, and let it sit in the refrigerator. It is best to prepare it in the evening and leave it overnight or let it sit for at least one hour before consuming.
Once set, add the fruits. Slice the banana into rounds, add the strawberries (cut in halves or quarters if they are large), and add the chokeberries.
Mix everything and enjoy. You can customize the fruits to your preference and add nuts like walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts if desired.
