Chia pudding – a power breakfast
Chia seeds are not called a superfood for anything.
- Chia seeds bring a lot of high-quality protein with them. The small seeds also have a lot to offer in terms of trace elements and mineral content. For example, chia seeds contain more iron than spinach.
- The seeds are also particularly rich in calcium. The amount of this mineral is five times that of milk.
- Chia seeds are also small vitamin bombs. It is particularly rich in vitamins A, B1, B3, and E.
- The high content of healthy omega-3 fatty acids is interesting for vegans since fish is not a source of these fatty acids in this diet.
- You are also doing something good for your digestion if you choose chia pudding for breakfast. The seeds contain plenty of fiber.
Chia pudding – the basic recipe
The preparation of chia pudding is very easy. In addition, the meal can be refined quite easily for your personal taste.
- For the basic recipe, you need 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 150ml of liquid.
- You can use low-fat cow’s milk for the preparation. Vegan milk alternatives such as almond, oat, or coconut milk are just as suitable.
- Place the seeds in a bowl, cover with the liquid and stir well. Then let the grains swell in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
- If the seeds are swollen, you can add more liquid until the chia pudding has the consistency you want.
- You can also let them soak overnight for a quick and stress-free breakfast.
- You can also prepare chia pudding in small jars or take them with you on the go. It can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days.
Chia pudding is just the way you like it
You can adjust the taste of the chia pudding to your preferences.
- For example, if you like a fine note of coconut, replace part of the required liquid with coconut water.
- With a little abrasion of a vanilla bean, you give the chia pudding a fine vanilla aroma.
- A pinch of cinnamon stirred into the pudding also tastes delicious.
- Of course, your favorite fruit also goes well with it. Here you can fall back on fresh fruit, pureed smoothies, or frozen berries.
- The chia breakfast is particularly healthy if you add vegetable protein to it. For example, hemp seeds and nuts or kernels are suitable as toppings.
