Is your morning routine a little hectic? No time to make a healthy breakfast? Want to start your day packed with Omega 3 goodness?

 

I KNOW you do … Whilst this ain't a recipe for your fav cocktail, guarantee this recipe for Chia Seed Pudding will become one of your all time favourite go-to's.

Why do I love this recipe so much? Well, its refined sugar free, dairy and gluten free, packed with Omega 3 essential amazingness & does not involve cooking or cleaning up ... Whats not to love ?! PLUS the delicious aroma of coconut and mango is reminiscent of all things summer, always an added bonus in my book!

Chia means "strength" in the Mayan language, packed with Omega-3 essential fats, protein, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals this little treasure is kind to our digestive system, great for our skin and a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Grab a mason jar & let's get cooking (more like mixing in this case!).


Ingredients:

3 tbs chia seeds, white or black
1 cup coconut milk (or any plant based milk)
1/2 tspn Maple syrup
1/2 tspn ground cinnamon

    Topping:

    1 mango cheek diced
    Little handful of toasted organic shredded coconut
    12 activated almonds chopped (optional)

      Serves: 2

       

      Steps:

      1. Combine Chia Seeds, milk, maple syrup and cinnamon in a glass jar, stir, close tight and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
      2. Before serving, top with some toasted coconut, fresh mango and activated almonds.

       

      Get creative as you like with toppings! You may like to try sliced banana and blueberries for an extra dose of antioxidants and potassium.

      To help save you time in the morning, grab a couple of jars and prep the puddings the night before - breakfast will be as easy as grabbing the jar out of the fridge the next morning on your way out.

      Puddings can be stored in the fridge for up to four days, making these little pots of goodness super easy to get organised ... Meal prep TICK !

      I also love to double this recipe as a delicious desert for those nights when you may feel like a healthy sweet treat or have unexpected friends pop round ...

       Enjoy!
