2. Easy Raspberry Chia Pudding
Chia Puddings make a great breakfast, healthy snack or dessert. They are perfect to prepare ahead of time and have a nourishing meal waiting for you when needed.
To create a chia pudding that’s full of healthy vegetarian foods, start by combining together your choice from almond milk, coconut milk and keto friendly yogurt such as Greek yoghurt. You can easily create a chia pudding without any dairy products, making it the perfect option to enjoy on a vegan diet. You can also mix mashed berries through as I have done in the above recipe.
Add chia seeds to your chosen liquid (or liquids) and then mix well before popping into the fridge for a few hours or overnight to thicken and set.
When ready to enjoy, you can top your pudding with more chia seeds, hemp seeds, peanut butter, almond butter, high-protein nuts, seeds or low carb fruit.
