I’m not a big fan of sweet breakfast, but coconut chia pudding was my life’s discovery. I didn’t believe how easy it is to prepare, how good it can taste, and how healthy it is!
Chia seeds are high in fiber, omega-3s and lots of protein! They can positively affect the digestive system, your heart and circulatory system. Their regular consumption improves the condition of the skin – so many advantages!
Another plus of this dish is that you can make a batch that will be enough for 3-4 breakfasts, and it will not take more than 10-15 minutes to prepare it.
COCONUT MILK – It is quite caloric on its own, but in supermarkets you will also get a “light” version which is about 10% fat. It is less thick, but in this case the chia seeds will thicken the whole thing and it will turn out delicious.
SUGAR – you can replace it with honey, xylitol, and even skip it altogether when looking for a lighter alternative.
Alright, let’s get started – it will only take us couple minutes!
INGREDIENTS
