Banana & Blueberry Chia Pudding
Healthy and nutritious breakfast perfect for anybody who exercises in the morning (great post-workout meal)
Servings: 1
Author: Petra Kravos
- 2 tbsp organic chia seeds
- 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
- a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds (they are rich in zinc which is essential for healthy immune system)
- 1 tsp of natural sweetener such as Natvia
- 2 brazil nuts (chopped - these are full of selenium!)
- 1 tbsp flaxseeds (I use Linwoods)
- 1 tsp raw cacao powder (optional)
- 150 ml almond milk (add more in the morning if needed)
- 1 small banana (sliced)
- 1 tbsp Greek Yogurt (for extra protein, optional)
- a handful of blueberries
Place all the ingredients (apart from the fruits) in a jar or container and mix well. You can skip some of the ingredients if you don't have them.
Cover the mixture and leave in the fridge overnight.
In the morning check the consistency and if needed add some extra almond milk.
Before serving add sliced banana, blueberries and if desired some Greek yoghurt.
Once you add all the ingredients together and soak overnight you actually get quite a big serving. I don't eat it all at once. I have some in the mid-morning but also in the afternoon as a snack.
If you don't eat two breakfasts like me you can just have it as your main breakfast and it will really fill you up.
