Chia Pudding is the perfect travelers companion as its easy to make the night before and pop in your bag on your way out as well as delicious, filling snack or meal, overflowing with goodness.
The chia seeds are “super” because, like a superfruit, they deliver the maximum amount of nutrients with minimum calories. The nutritional benefits of chia include fiber, omega fatty acids, calcium, antioxidants and much more – even protein!
Contributing to its super-seed status, ounce for ounce, chia seeds have more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon! Chia is one of the most concentrated sources of omega-3 in any food. It also contains high amounts of omega-6. Everyone needs to consume high amounts of these essential fatty acids in their diet, because these EFAs build new cells and regulate various processes of the body, but our bodies cannot make them internally. They also support heart health and beautiful skin, hair and nails.
My favorite way to eat chia is as a snack or dessert in a pudding. Today I am going to share with you the very simple steps to make my Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding.
Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding
 

3 tablespoons chia seed+ 2 tablespoons chocolate hemp protein powder

1 large cup of almond milk + a dash of your favorite sweetener i.e. honey, stevia, coconut sugar or agave

Let’s Roll:

Place all the ingredients in a jar, shake, and place in the fridge. Then 10 minutes later, take it out and shake it again to make sure there’s no lumpy bits and everything is well combined and leave in the fridge overnight. That is all.

All shook up!

The next morning you will have a delightful meal ready, with enough chocolate pudding for two, if you feel like sharing. You can just eat straight out of the jar for breakfast or in the airport, like I normally do, or be even more prepared and place some fresh fruit on top to serve.
