Chia Pudding

I proudly present the most yummy and healthy pudding ever, Chia seeds pudding!!! :D

About Chia seeds:
Chia seeds come from desert plant called Salvia Hispanica.
Chia seeds contain healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and calcium. All awesome stuff for our body!

Chia seeds are raw and unprocessed, which means you receive all benefits from it straight away. Awesome right?!?! It is also preferred food for raw vegan diet. They are whole-grain food that can be absorbed by the body as seeds. (Zelman, K. M., 2010)

Chia seeds help a lot if you wish to lose some kilogram! It is easy to eat and yummy with a little bit of creation of cuz! I usually have Chia seeds pudding with fruits, krispy granola, and smoothies. It is suitable for when you crave for something sweet or desserts as you make it kind of a dessert, It is a pudding! And the most certain thing is that Chia seeds pudding is totally raw (no hot cooking process require!)

2 tbsp of Chia seeds contain 139 calories (healthy calories! which is what you need) 4g Protein, 9g fat, 12g carb, 11g fiber, and minerals and vitamins


Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Chia seeds
- 1 and 1/2 cup almond Milk
- 1 tsp organic honey (optional)

 Process:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a jar 
-Mix it well with the the spoon
-Put the jar in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight
-Give it a stir one more time during these hours to make sure all seeds will pop as pudding and absorb the liquid properly
- Then there you go, ready to eat! You will get the result like the picture above.
Example of my Chia seeds pudding creation


 - Add the pudding in your smoothies, layer it
- Have it as a pudding, topped with fruits, granola, dried fruits, milk, honey, or dark chocolate nibs
- How ever your desire with something you like!

Where to buy all the ingredients in Germany:
Biomarkt, Bio Super market of course! I bought mine in Mammut which was 400g package for 14.99, In Denn's it is 2 Euro cheaper (Damnn you Mammut!) This package can last up to 2-3 months! It is a bit expensive but it last a long time. For instance, my 1 jar of chia pudding, I can have it 3-4 times. Well try not to leave it too long in the fridge tho! I would say finish it within 3 days maximum. Almond milk in Denn's cost 2.99. The jar! I bought mine from Kaufland and it was only 0.89. You should definitely buy a few since the jars are quite useful!

I am sorry my Thai friends, I have no idea where to buy all these stuff but i think in Lemon Farm should be the place to buy organic and healthy ingredients! Villa Market and Gourmet Super Market in Siam Paragon. If you found out somehow please let me know where you have bought it!

Enjoy! XXX :)
