When I grow up, I’ll have sweets for breakfast!" – admit it, you thought the same thing as a child. And even now, many of us wouldn’t mind starting the day with something sweet. However, as we grow older, we begin to think about how to make our breakfast both sweet and, at the same time, healthy. The author of today’s recipe, Natasha Dekhtyareva, knows the secrets to healthy sweet breakfasts and will reveal one of them in this video. Chia pudding with milk and nuts is something that will not only give us a boost of good mood but also provide our bodies with plenty of health benefits.
Chia seeds are rich in fatty acids, such as Omega 3, fiber, minerals, and protein. They're also indispensable during the cold season when our bodies are more susceptible to colds – chia seeds help boost immunity. Additionally, chia pudding has a positive effect on the digestive system – can you think of many sweets that have this effect?
- Take 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, place them in a bowl, and add a little milk.
- Mix the chia seeds with the milk.
- Add some honey to taste.
- Leave the pudding in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the gelatin to release and the seeds to swell even more.
- Pour the pudding into a serving container.
- Top with nuts or seasonal fruits for decoration.
