I love this homemade all natural chia pudding recipe
Not only down this breakfast look beautiful, it is also incredibly healthy and very easy to prepare.
It literally just takes 5 minutes of prep!
What is wonderful about homemade all natural chia pudding is its simplicity. It is incredibly easy to make. I like to make it in the evening so I can have a delicious and nutritious breakfast as soon as I get up in the morning.
There are so many health benefits of chia seeds.
- High in protein, which helps to keep you full. When I have chia in the morning I don’t snack needlessly throughout the day.
- The high fiber content keeps you regular :). And is great for gut health!
- Packed with Calcium. Even more than milk and cheese!
- Controls blood sugar levels. Maintaining regular moods and keeps you from having a low energy afternoon.
- Filled with antioxidants. Which leads to younger looking skin, hair and nails. They are also known to reduce the risk of cancer.
- Filled with Omega 3’s which help stabilize moods. Also reducing risk of heart disease, depression, and even gives you a better night sleep!
So next time someone asks you where you get your protein and calcium, all you have to say is I got it from my breakfast 🙂
