COCONUT CHIA PUDDING

October 30, 2017
Healthy and simple. A protein packed pudding or breakfast.

A perfect thrown together breakfast, power snack or dessert; chia puddings are so quick and easy to make and you can totally customise them with whatever ingredients you fancy.

This recipe is naturally vegan, dairy, gluten and sugar free, requires no baking and is packed with whole-grain chia seeds which are loaded with fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids (aka skin, nail and hair loving powerhouses). We’ve added protein powder too as having protein in the morning has been proven to help keep hunger at bay throughout the day.

TIP

When selecting protein powders have a look at the ingredients list to check for added sugars and preservatives. Best to ask for advice in a health food store if you’re feeling overwhelmed with options.

Chia seeds are also a great filling yet healthy bulking ingredient in any smoothie or breakfast.
