CHIA SEEDS
This tiny things have been my favorite breakfast menu for a while.
Came across it when watching some youtube health gurus' videos and decided to give it a try.
Chia seeds come from a flowering plant in the mint family that's native to Mexico and Guatemala, and history suggests it was a very important food crop for the Aztecs.
Known as one of the superfoods, chia seeds has lots of benefits, as shown below:
You can sprinkle them on your salad or toast, add them in your smoothies or salad, or like me, you can soak them and eat them like pudding for breakfast :)
Here's my way of having chia seeds..
I actually got many recipes from youtube and/or websites, but I prefer to have it simple (but yummy!).
Basically all I do is soak approximately 2 tablespoons of chia seeds overnight in a liquid base of choice:
- Almond milk: original or flavored
- Soymilk: preferable unsweetened, or you could add stevia/agave/honey as the sweetener
- Coconut water
- Others, the choice is limitless! (but keep it healthy)
The amount of liquid used is depend on how firm or runny you want the pudding to be.
Use less liquid for a firmer pudding, or more liquid for a runnier pudding.
Use less liquid for a firmer pudding, or more liquid for a runnier pudding.
It keeps me full until lunch time and prevent me from snacking :)
Go and give it a try!!
