Oh, chia. How I love you.

Weekday mornings can be a little hectic. Can we all agree? I like to set myself up for the week ahead with a technique called meal preparation - and Sunday’s are my day! Essentially, meal prep looks like batch-making easily storable meals for the coming days ahead. Chia seeds are a true gift from nature for prepping easy make-ahead breakfast recipes. You can mix them with oats, toss them into smoothies, or even use them as an egg replacer for pancakes and french toast. But my personal favourite way to use chia? In chia seed pudding, of course!

I love chia seed pudding because you truly only need 2-ingredients and just a couple of minutes to make it. It’s super filling, incredibly nourishing, easy customizable, and lasts for days in the fridge. Chia seeds are also quite nutrient dense, offering a generous source of protein, omega-3’s, and gut-supportive fibre. My secret to creating thick and creamy chia seed pudding is using Silk’s Unsweetened Coconut Beverage for the base. It’s a delicious plant-based milk replacement, and tastes even creamier than dairy-filled alternatives.
