Dairy Free Chia Pudding!
Pudding for breakfast! Really?
Yes really😋
Chia seeds are packed full of healthy nutrients and because they absorb up to nine times their weight in liquid, they are are an excellent 'clean' (free of harmful processed chemicals) healthier choice for puddings that is very similar in texture to tapioca. They are also gluten free too🙌 For that reason they are an awesome nutrient dense alternative to puddings high in sugar. Chia seeds contain healthy omega-3 fats, protein, fiber, antioxidants and calcium.
This pudding can even be eaten for breakfast too! Can you imagine the looks on your kiddos faces being served chocolate pudding for breakfast❣️ You can reduce the sweetener if you want your pudding to contain less to keep the sugar content lower especially for breakfast.
You can also vary the amount of liquid you prefer depending on how thick you like your pudding to be. Once you have added your liquid be sure you mix the ingredients thoroughly and then let it sit for several minutes and mix again making sure it is well blended and break up any clumps that may be forming. Repeat this procedure 1-2 more times as needed and then let it sit covered for at least 1-2 hours. You can mix in a bowl and transfer to individual containers or you can mix and store all in one Mason jar just make sure you shake it well several times to break up any clumps. Ideally make it ahead of time the day or night before and let it sit in the refrigerator. The pudding will last for several days stored in an airtight container in your fridge if it hasn't been eaten before!

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
