Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making them a low-carb and relatively high-protein super seed. Studies have shown that chia seeds may help to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as help to improve glucose intolerance in patients with metabolic syndrome. (source) Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup is low glycemic and cinnamon is great for stabilizing blood sugar. When you pair them together, this pudding is an indulgence treat you can enjoy whenever you’d like! We highly recommend topping it off with some more date syrup😉
Ingredients you'll need:
-
- Chia Seeds
- These little seeds are the main component to our base and are also a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein.
- Coconut Milk
- We went with a yummy coconut milk, but you can use whatever floats your boat. Our substitution recommendations are oat, Goodmylk Co. Almond Mylk or Malibu Mylk.
- Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup
- The only natural sweetener needed with a touch of cinnamon! Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form. How convenient!
- Silken Tofu
- This is going to create the creamy texture of cheesecake, while keeping it vegan + nut-free.
- Vanilla + Cinnamon + Cloves + Cardamom
- The combination of these spices will create the chai flavor we want!
- Chia Seeds
