This peanut butter chia blueberry pudding makes for a delicious breakfast, snack or healthy treat.
Packed with nutrients and flavour. This little powerhouse jar of goodness is gluten free, dairy free, grain free, refined sugar free, paleo friendly… and it is so easy to make.
I love how customisable chia pudding is. You can create any flavour you want and it is good for you.
This combo, I decided to create THREE different chia layers, one layer being a vanilla cream layer, followed by a peanut butter layer, then finally a blueberry vanilla layer and of course some in between crunchy, chewy granola with chopped walnuts a dollop of coconut yoghurt for the topping with some frozen blueberries and walnuts.
Fun fact about chia seeds, they contain large amounts of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, plenty of high quality protein, and several essential minerals and antioxidants.
The first meal of the day you always want to aim for the SUPER 3. Well, this actually counts for most meals. Protein is number one, two is fiber, three is healthy fats.
Protein is KING 👑 A high protein breakfast has been shown to benefit muscle health and to support weight loss by increasing muscle mass, energy expenditure (calories burned), satiety hormones, glucose regulation and by decreasing the desire to snack at night.
I often add my favourite protein supplement to my meals especially when it comes to making breakfast. This ensures I cover any nutritional gaps, giving me quality protein my body needs, especially post workout.
