Why this overnight chia breakfast pudding

I discovered chia seeds recently and can’t stop obsessing over them now. I put them in my cakes and in my jams. Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. They are loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for your body and brain.

I call this recipe of chia seed pudding the perfect breakfast recipe not only because it has chia seeds, which are packed with health benefits but also because it has everything that you should be having for breakfast- fruits, milk and seeds, and nuts. It is light but filling and also super yum. I don’t always post healthy recipes like this chia seed pudding but when I do, I make sure it is tasty too! I’m sure you’re convinced by now that this chia seed pudding is absolutely amazing but there is more! You have to make this at night and let it rest overnight. This basically means that when you wake up in the morning, your breakfast is absolutely ready.

Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are pumped up with antioxidants which fight diseases like cancer and also aging.
They lower your body’s vulnerability to heart diseases.
They are high in many bone nutrients and contain higher calcium than most dairy products. Therefore, if you happen to be lactose-intolerant, Chia seeds should be your go-to ingredient in every dish you prepare.

Ingredients of this vegan chia seed pudding

You might probably be thinking about the availability of chia seeds in your regular grocery store. Don’t worry about that. Nowadays, chia seeds are available in almost every other shop and hence, you won’t have a problem finding them. I use strawberries for this recipe but you can use any berries that you like. You can also use the milk of your choice. Even though I have used whole milk, almond milk is equally excellent and you’ll have your chia seed pudding with almond milk which certainly becomes more healthy and nutritious.
