Cashew Milk Chia Pudding with Mango Cream

[sharethis-inline-buttons]

Chia seeds have been gaining a lot of attention lately around the Western world. They have been called “superfoods” for a reason – high content of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and many other vitamins and nutrients which are essential for a healthy female body. Chia seeds have the ability to absorb water that’s 27 times the size of the seed itself. For that reason when you consume chia seeds you will feel satisfied longer and won’t be tempted to reach for treats. As a health coach I often recommend my clients to start their day with a balanced breakfast, and this chia pudding is perfect. A great combination of healthy fats and protein from chia seeds and cashews, fiber from fresh mango is a great way to start the day!
