If you’re always rushing in the morning and can’t sit down for a decent breakfast, this coconut chia seed pudding is for you.
You can make a batch of chia seed pudding on Sunday night, and you’ll have 3 single-serve breakfasts ready to go for use throughout the week. It’s cheaper than pre-made chia seed pudding, and you can create variety by switching up what you top it with, such as sliced fruit, nuts, or seeds.
Chia Benefits
Now, chia seeds may not look like much, but they are incredible little beauty powerhouses. Their benefits aren’t truly unlocked until you soak them. Chia seeds absorb up to 10x their weight in water, forming a very colon-friendly gel that helps pull toxins from the body while aiding elimination.
Chia seeds are also highly anti-inflammatory, thanks to their omega-3 content, which makes them a great addition to your diet if you are seeking clearer skin.
