Who doesn’t love pudding? The trouble is, most puddings are often loaded with sugars and lacking in nutrition. Well, here’s a breakfast pudding that’s going to change all that. This power pudding is low in sugar and loaded with chia, flax, and coconut, meaning you get the whole spectrum of healthy fats, including the elusive omega-3s.
Many of us get far too few omega-3 fatty acids in our diets. We consume plenty of omega-6s, in the form of nuts, vegetable oils, wheat products, and avocados. However, far fewer foods, if you’re not a fish eater, offer omega-3s. There is evidence to suggest that as a species, we evolved with a ratio of 1:1, omega-6s to omega-3s. However, nowadays, the Western diet resembles more of a 15:1 ratio, a ratio which may promote inflammatory diseases.
Omega-3s are important for skin health, healthy weight, and hormonal balance — in addition to myriad other processes — and are actually an intricate part of the cell membranes throughout your body. In order to bring more fatty acid balance into your life, this pudding is certainly a delicious and nutritious way to go. Mix together some superfoods, and you get this dreamy, super creamy, incredibly satisfying chia pudding recipe that'll satisfy your sweet tooth while making you healthier for the future!
