If you're anything like me, you're probably always on the hunt for something to satisfy your sweet tooth on a low carb day. Well, friend, if so, I have a delicious recipe for you to try that I think is gonna do the trick!
Chia pudding is great for low carb days because chia seeds are low in net carbs - they have tons of fiber, some fat and a little bit of protein. They also are very nutritious and can assist in lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation and aid in digestion. You can make chia pudding by simply mixing chia seeds with your favorite non-dairy milk and letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours to thicken. But sometimes you just don't want to be digging those seeds out of your teeth for the rest of the day! I have found that blending my chia seeds with the milk makes for a smooth, pudding consistency. This chia pudding only contains a few ingredients, and when you put them together, I kid you not, it tastes just like Cool Whip, but without all of the funky ingredients! Here's how I make it: Blueberry Chia Pudding 1 cup light unsweetened coconut milk, canned 2 Tbls. chia seeds 1 cup frozen blueberries Blend together and pour into a bowl for serving. Refrigerate until thickened (this happens pretty quick, so you don't have to prep these overnight or anything!). When ready to eat, top with a few more frozen blueberries and your favorite nut butter. I love Abby's Better Date Pecan butter! ENJOY! XO
