Chia Seeds Pudding

My journey to find more low carbohydrate breakfast options that are also healthy and nutritious lead me to try out new things and do a lot of research. One of the discoveries was Chia seeds. Chia seeds pudding is now one of the healthy breakfast options in my menu.

Overnight Chia Seed pudding is very easy to prepare, customize, it is always nutritious and delicious. It is a gluten free and low carbohydrate breakfast that could be easily turned into sugar and dairy free also, or it could be a great “guilt-free” dessert option. It keeps me satiated. The pudding is loaded with healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants. This recipe for the Chia seed pudding has several super food ingredients, such as Goji berries, walnuts and blueberries. It is almost too healthy. 🙂 Give it a try and find your perfect Chia seed pudding/topping combination!
