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?
By the way, chia seeds go great in salads, both vegetable and fruit ones. I’ll leave you with a recipe for one: Spinach and Strawberry Salad.
For those of you watching your figure and afraid of indulging in that extra piece of cake, chia pudding is a must – these magical seeds quickly bring a sense of fullness that lasts for hours. So next time someone tells you that you can’t have dessert and still lose weight, confidently prove them wrong!
Chia pudding is also great because you can add just about anything to it. Natasha decided to add nuts, while I wouldn’t mind trying it with berries. In fact, there’s nothing stopping me from doing that.
Another great thing about this dish is its simplicity. There are only a few ingredients, it’s quick and easy to make, and the kitchen stays spotless – leaving you with peace of mind and a calm environment. Plus, you get so many health benefits! It’s perfect for a morning when you don’t want to deal with messy pots and dishes.
I think I already know what I’ll have for breakfast tomorrow!
