On this edition of our biweekly newsletter, we want to introduce you to a simple, yet nutritious recipe that is both delicious and easy to prepare – Strawberry, Coconut Chia Seed Pudding.
Packed with proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, this pudding makes a perfect breakfast or dessert option. The star ingredients are chia seeds, a superfood known for its high fiber and protein content, and coconut milk, which lends a creamy texture while adding beneficial fats. Finally, the sweetness of strawberries rounds off the flavors perfectly.
What’s great about this recipe is that it requires minimal prep time and can be made in advance. Simply mix, refrigerate overnight, and wake up to a refreshing, healthy treat!
Nutritionally, per serving, it delivers 1.79g of protein from the chia seeds, 3.55g from the coconut milk, and a trace amount from the strawberries. It also offers a balanced mix of total fats and carbohydrates, making it an ideal start to your day or a guilt-free dessert!
