Chia seed pudding, three ways

With more calcium than milk, more omega 3’s than salmon, insanely high amounts of soluble fibre, and a top source of plant-based protein, this powerful little seed has quickly become one of my favourite superfoods. In fact, chia seed pudding is one of the top breakfast recommendations I give to my clients, because it is the perfect balance of protein, fat, and fibre, which stabilizes blood sugar levels and keeps them satisfied till lunch. Even better, it requires no prep time in the morning because it can be made the night before. Now go enjoy your pudding!

Mango Chia Seed Pudding

A great breakfast option for those that love a sweet n’ tangy flavour.

• 1 recipe Basic Chia Seed Pudding + desired amount of Mango Puree (recipe below) and shredded coconut. In a large glass, alternate layers of the chia pudding with the Mango Puree, starting with the pudding and ending with the puree. Top with shredded coconut.

Pineapple Chia Seed Pudding

A great breakfast option for those that enjoy a milder tasting pudding.

• 1 recipe Basic Chia Seed Pudding + desired amount of Pineapple Puree (recipe below) and fresh pineapple pieces. In a large glass, alternate layers of the chia pudding with the Pineapple Puree + fresh pineapple pieces, starting with the pudding and ending with puree. Top with fresh pineapple pieces.

Caramel Pecan Chia Seed Pudding

Quite a bit sweeter than either the mango or pineapple puddings, this version is perfect for dessert.

• 1 recipe Basic Chia Seed Pudding + Caramel Sauce, banana slices + pecan pieces. In a large glass, alternate layers of chia pudding with caramel sauce + banana slices, starting with the pudding and ending with the sauce + bananas. Top with pecans.

Bonus: Berry Chia Seed Pudding

I always have a big batch of Berry Sauce in the fridge, so this is the recipe I make the most often.

• 1 recipe Basic Chia Seed Pudding + Fresh Berry Sauce. In a large glass, alternate layers of chia pudding with the Berry Sauce, starting with the pudding and ending with the sauce.
