What Chia Pudding Taste Like
Chia pudding tastes like… pudding! The chia seeds have a very neutral flavor so the final flavor depends on the milk you choose and the flavors you mix in!
Health Benefits of Chia Pudding
Chia seeds boast a combination of fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and fat that keep you fueled and super full. We already know that fiber is important in a healthy diet; it’s essential for heart health in balancing blood sugar and lowering cholesterol. It also plays a vital role in gut and digestive health. Fiber makes up the majority of the carbohydrates in chia seeds. Chia is also a plant-based source of complete protein–two tablespoons of seeds contain 4grams of protein. Healthy fats keep you fuller longer and are essential for proper brain function
Toppings For Chia Pudding
TBH, the possibilities are endless and you can have a lot of fun by adding healthy toppings to your mango chia pudding. Think fresh fruits such as mango, pineapple and banana since they make a great combo with this magnanimous seasonal fruit. Chopped nuts add a lovely crunch and extra protein–try pistachios, walnuts, or almonds. Granola also adds a punch of flavor and superb texture.Unsweetened coconut flakes, flax seeds, and sunflower seeds all work–just choose what you like and change it up whenever you feel like it!
