Enjoy for a healthy breakfast, refreshing dessert or satisfying afternoon snack.

Store bought puddings are usually loaded with all sorts of funky ingredients, so making it from scratch at home with this recipe is a much healthier option.

I’ve been on a chia pudding kick lately. Typically, I have a smoothie for breakfast and dessert, loaded up with fruit, nuts, and coconut whipped cream but chia seed pudding has been working more and more into my routine lately!

I love pudding like snacks and treats and what’s really great about this pudding is its super healthy and oh-so-simple to make. I make it the night before allowing the chia to do it’s magic and thicken the pudding. If you are in a hurry you can eat it after 30 minutes of sitting but it won’t be as thick.

Why I love Tiramisu Chia Pudding:

When I eat this delish dish for breakfast I feel satisfied for hours. There is enough healthy fats, fiber and protein to keep me from getting hungry until mid-afternoon. I love that!

Super healthy, with plenty of protein, fat and fiber

Refreshing, vibrant taste

Incredibly satisfying for breakfast, you will be full all morning

Balanced sweet-tart flavor

Healthy breakfast, dessert or snack

I often get asked, is chia pudding healthy? Yes it’s incredibly healthy. Chia seeds contain antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Here are some of the health benefits:

Improves Elimination – Chia seeds are rich in soluble fiber and when combined with liquid, it expands and become very gelatinous. They lubricate the intestinal wall and act like a cleansing agent helping to move the toxins out of your body.

Improves Digestion – Chia seeds are a prebiotic which helps your stomach produce the good bacteria you need to keep your digestive system working properly.

Prevents Blood Sugar Spikes  – The gel from chia that is formed in the stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down so the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar is slowed down.

Improves Hydration – Many long distance runners use chia to stay hydrated.  Since it can absorb more than 10 times its weight in water chia helps you retain moisture and regulates the absorption of nutrients and body fluids, maintaining your electrolyte balance.

Helps With Weight Loss – Chia make you feel full because they absorb 10x their weight in water forming a bulky gel. They also slow down the absorption of carbs to control your appetite and reduce cravings. Healthy digestion aids weight loss and helps maintain your natural body weight.

High In Omega 3’s – Chia is the richest vegetable source for essential omega 3 fatty acids. These fats help reduce inflammation. They are also good for the proper function of adrenal and thyroid glands.

This easy chia seed pudding recipe is a perfect healthy breakfast or snack!

It’s filling, nutritious, made the night before, easily portable and the biggie is….it tastes like dessert, but it’s filled with fiber, protein, and healthy fats

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Chocolate Coffee Layer

• 1/4 cup espresso shots -or strong brewed coffee, luke warm
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
