Healthy and easy, chia puddings are the perfect snack to start the day or to fill the stomach in between meetings.
Often when I have to work intensively on a project, I don't want to stop for a long period of time to cook something. I will end up losing concentration and rhythm. Having some snacks ready to go is something that allows me to maintain my daily intake of healthy ingredients and have a meal ready in minutes.
Something that artists (and everyone else, by the way), should be careful about: Eating well and healthy is just another way to take care of yourself.
Healthy and easy, chia puddings are the perfect snack to start the day or to fill the stomach in between assignments. Just be careful to check your teeth before you smile in front of your colleague or even worse, present that important project to your boss. 🤣
Chia puddings is a good option, easy to make on the weekends, lasting all week. We can flavour them different ways and because chia seeds soak up 10 times their weight in water, they help you feel fuller longer as they immediately expand in your stomach when eaten.
My recipe for chia puddings coming from several internet websites.
INGREDIENTS for the CHIA PUDDINGS:
500 ml of milk; (You can use dairy or non-dairy milk.)
8 tbsp of chia seeds;
Milk: You can use milk or non-dairy milk.
HOW TO MAKE:
Mix the two ingredients and let them hidrate twelve hours. Make them the Saturday night. On Sunday you can flavour them and they can last up to five days. You can take them to work in small jars or serve in a nice glass.

INGREDIENTS for the FLAVOURS:
Granola (I use Jordans Amandes & Noisettes);
Fruit (my favourites: mango, strawberries or other berries.);
Cocoa powder;
Vanilla extract.
HOW TO MAKE:
Chocolate: Mix 200ml of the chia pudding with two teaspoons of cocoa powder. Add some granola on the top, if you want.
Fruit: Mix 200ml of the chia pudding with four soup spoons of the fruit puree. I usually topped this chia pudding with a few 70% dark chocolate chips, but you could also use fresh berries, or some granola.
Vanilla: Mix 200ml of the chia pudding with two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Add some extra of your own (fruit or chocolate or some nuts.)
COMPOSE:
Mix your flavours in layers. Example from bottom to top:
chia pudding, fruit puree, chia pudding, fruit and granola;
fruit puree, chia pudding, fruit and nuts;
upside down - granola and fruit.
