If you’re like me and you enjoy the convenience of having an already made breakfast, snack, or dessert, then you will really enjoy this scrumptious Coconut Raspberry Chia Pudding. It is light, creamy, and has the yummiest flavor, while at the same time really packs a nutritional punch. This baby is loaded with fiber, antioxidants and more. It is also gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and refined-sugar-free.
Some of the ingredients you will need:
- Chia seeds which are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- Raspberries which are a great source of antioxidants, fiber and Vitamin C.
- Coconut Milk which is best known for containing medium-chain triglycerides, MCT’s, which is great fuel for your brain.
- Cinnamon which is a powerhouse when it comes to its anti-inflammatory benefits. It is also good for balancing blood sugar.
- Raw Honey which is a great natural sweetener with benefits such as antioxidants, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
- -OR-
- Pure Maple Syrup which is another natural sweetener and contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
As I mentioned above, this recipe is extremely simple to make. All you have to do is place all of your ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until it becomes smooth. Next, you will chill it in the fridge for about 4-6 hours or overnight until it is fully set. Lastly, you will top it off with your favorite fruit, nuts, or any other topping your little heart desires.
Super simple and super tasty!
