I led a nutrition lecture last night
for my neighbors and boy were they suspicious
of this “energizing pudding” I had made for them!
They were fans after their first bite, though.
SUCCESS!!
Here’s a picture from the lecture:
Chia Seeds aka “nutrition sprinkles”!
– high in fiber
– high in antioxidants
– high in omega 3s
– loaded with vitamins and minerals
– highly energizing (great for pre-workout or the AM)
– one of the most powerful superfoods
– add to oatmeal, toast w/almond butter, smoothies, salads, soups, baked goods
– shake it up in some water = a great sports drink!
– pretty tasteless
– eat raw
This Hazelnut Chia Seed Pudding makes:
the PERFECT breakfast
the PERFECT pre-workout snack
the PERFECT dessert.
It’s SUPER healthy, not to mention,
it also tastes GREAT, is super filling
and SO easy to make.
You really wont believe how easy…
make it at night, shake it up
and viola – breakfast is ready
right when you wake up!
