Blueberry Banana Chia Pudding Recipe | Healthy Breakfast

Raise your hand if you love chia pudding! ✋ Yeah, me too! I love to eat chia puddings as an afternoon treat, especially if are topped with fresh berries and banana, like this beautiful pudding in the pictures!

Everybody knows chia seeds are healthy, but here are some fun facts about why chia seeds is considered superfood:

• it's full of fibers and antioxidants
• it's gluten free, paleo-friendly and low in carbohydrates
• contains protein
• contains iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus
• contains Omega-3 fatty acids
• mixed with water, it can replace egg in vegan cooking
• boosts your energy and metabolism
• can improve your health in numerous ways
• bonus fact: Chia seeds can absorb up to 27 times their weight in water. When soaked, chia seeds form a thick, a pudding-like texture.

Chia pudding is so versatile, you can serve it with your favorite fresh or cooked fruits, jam, nut butters, chocolate, cocoa, nuts and seeds, the sky is the limit for ways to serve it. My favorite chia pudding toppings are: blueberries, banana and kiwi. What's your favorite chia pudding topping?

If you haven't made chia pudding yet, I can tell you: preparing chia pudding is ridiculously quick and easy, just stir the seeds with some kind of liquid and refrigerate it! I've been experimenting with chia seed fo a while and I think my all time favorite is made with Greek Yogurt. Soaking chia seeds in plain Greek yogurt overnight results in a super creamy thick pudding, which in my opinion doesn't need any sweetener, just some fresh fruit on the top.

This naturally sweet blueberry and banana chia pudding could be a perfect breakfast or healthy treat. Enjoy!
