One of the most common questions I get asked by clients is “What should I eat for a snack?”. Now, this totally depends on what you like. Some people are more savory snackers, while others love something sweeter (I love both, obviously). With that being said, when I’m craving something sweet, easy chia pudding always saves the day.
Chia pudding can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes, making it the perfect breakfast, snack or dessert for busy days. Hey, it could even be eaten for lunch or dinner if you really want. Whatever floats your boat!
Chia seeds are in incredible source of fibre, protein and calcium. We learned all about plant-based calcium here, in this blog post!
This is the most basic form of chia pudding, but feel free to add whatever you want! I love adding some cocoa powder, berries, coconut flakes, or peanut butter when I want a little upgrade.
You can also make this in a big batch, separate them into individual mason jars, and freeze for a time when you’re in a pinch! Just throw them in the fridge and allow them enough time to thaw, usually about 4-8 hours.
If you’re more of a visual learner, I made this recipe, along with two other delicious, easy, plant-based snacks on my Youtube channel!
