Is Chia Pudding Good for Weight Loss?
Chia pudding can be a good choice for weight loss for a variety of reasons. Chia seeds are packed with protein, fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3s. They keep you full for hours and aid with digestion. However, portion control matters, even with healthy foods. So although chia seeds are nutritious, they are also high in calories, so be mindful of your serving size.
How to Make Mango Chia Pudding
In a Mason jar (or another sealed container with a tight-fitting lid), combine the chia seeds, honey, and milk and stir/shake until fully mixed. Fit the container with an airtight lid and pop it in the fridge for at least 4-8 hours.
Once the chia pudding has thickened and is ready to serve, blend the mango and peaches into a purée (add them to a blender or food processor with the milk– cow’s milk or non-dairy milk like soy milk, oat milk, light coconut milk, or cashew milk –and blend until smooth).
In a tall glass, add the chia seed pudding and mango peach purée in alternating layers. When the glass is full, carefully slide kiwi slices down the side of the glass, pressing each against the side so you can see it from the outside.
Garnish as desired with chia seeds, coconut chips, a drizzle of honey, or more fresh kiwi.
How to Serve
This mango chia pudding makes a perfect breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert. Eat it immediately, on its own, or with a side of additional fruit and granola. It’s perfect to bring on the go and eat on your way to work or at your desk. It’s the perfect easy, healthy way to start your day–a fun alternative to overnight oats!
Storage and Freezing
This mango chia pudding is best served immediately but will last in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two days. It will also last in the freezer for 3-4 weeks but note that the consistency may change as it freezes and thaws.
