Helpful Tips for Making the Best Chia Pudding:

This Vanilla Fig Chia Pudding is so easy to make – just throw everything into a glass container, whisk until smooth, and let sit overnight! Here are some tips to make the absolute best chia pudding possible:

• Don’t skip the yogurt! You technically can make chia pudding without it, but it’ll be difficult to achieve a creamy texture. My ratio per 2 tbsp of chia seeds is 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scoop protein powder, and 1/4 cup yogurt.
• Make this the day or night before you want to enjoy it. It needs a minimum of 6 hours to thicken!
• Whisk the liquids first before you add the powders and chia seeds.
• This recipe is for 3 small portions, or 2 slightly larger portions. If you think you’ll want more, simply double or triple the recipe.

Confused? Here are some frequently asked questions:

1. What are the benefits of chia pudding?

Chia pudding has many incredible benefits, mainly improving digestion due to the high fiber content. When you allow the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and expand, they take on a gel like consistency helping waste and toxins pass through your system. In simpler terms, they are great at easing constipation and improving the gut lining. Due to this and the amount of nutrients packed into a small amount, chia seeds are considered a superfood!

2. Which plant-based protein is best?

Look for protein powders that are free of additives. The best protein powders contain a high amount of protein of course made from natural, plant-based sources. Sprout Living makes a nutrient dense protein powder that comes in various delicious flavors and sources protein from multiple sources. 

3. What are the benefits of figs?

Figs are a nutrient dense fruit that are typically in season the end of summer through the end of fall. They are rich in fiber, contain anti-inflammatory properties, increase blood circulation, and, like chia seeds, are great for digestion. It’s recommended to eat figs during menstruation as they are known to reduce cramps!

4. Is it okay to have chia pudding every morning?

While chia pudding is very healthy and has great benefits, it’s important to consume everything in moderation. To reach optimal health, it’s important to consume a variety of foods and mix things up. If you eat the same foods daily you may grow intolerant to certain foods. Consuming chia pudding 3-4 times a week should be fine.
