Oh my chia! What is this?

Oh my chia! What is this?

It’s Coconut Chia Pudding! I have been enjoying this as a healthy summer dessert. It’s delicious plain or topped with fruit and/or nuts.

Coconut is a healthy fat that feeds the brain as well as offering a myriad of internal and external of benefits including; aiding digestion and stimulating metabolism. Coconut oil can be used in massage therapy as it has a nice consistency.

This recipe is very simple, nutritious, and delicious which are three things I always look for when creating or eating food.

Benefits of chia include being high in omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.

I found this recipe at The Woman’s Place in Kelowna, BC (www.twpfitness.com) and just had to share.

Ingredients:

¼ cup chia
1 cup coconut milk (light or full-fat depending on preference)
1 tsp honey or 1/16 tsp stevia

Mix all ingredients together and place in a small bowl or mason jar. Let it set in fridge overnight.

Remove from fridge and make sure it has set into a thick pudding (if it has not let it sit a bit longer)

Eat plain or enjoy with fruit and/or nuts! Try it and let me know what you think.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I came in to the beginning of treatment with pain level 8/10 in the back of my head, and neck and top of my shoulders mainly on my right side and even into my right eye. During the treatment I noticed the soreness was more in my right shoulder and I could feel the knots in my muscles. The the trigger point treatment from Stephanie helped to relieve the tension in my shoulders, neck and head. After the treatment the pain level went to a zero (0/10) and now I have more mobility in my neck and shoulders. I also received some helpful self care to maintain the relief in my neck and shoulders. Thanks Stephanie!"
