Chia & Flaxseed Pudding
Starting your day with a nutrient-packed breakfast is one of the best ways to support your overall well-being, especially for women juggling multiple responsibilities. Chia and flaxseeds are both powerhouse ingredients that provide a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and essential vitamins. These nutrients not only contribute to a balanced diet but also support hormonal health, digestion, and skin vitality health that often need extra attention. This chia & flaxseed pudding is a simple, delicious way to fuel your body with these vital nutrients in one easy-to-make dish.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the chia seeds, ground flaxseed, almond milk, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract.
-
Stir Well: Stir thoroughly to make sure the chia seeds and flaxseed are evenly distributed and begin absorbing the liquid. Let it sit for a minute or two, then stir again to break up any clumps.

Chill & Set: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight. The seeds will expand and thicken, creating a pudding-like consistency.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Once set, give it a quick stir, add any desired toppings (like fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut), and enjoy!
Topping Suggestions:
- Fresh fruits (berries, sliced banana, or mango)
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds)
