The Chia Pudding – A Superfood Savior for Gestational Diabetes
Hello, my wonderful readers! Today, I'm going to share a recipe that was my superfood savior during my gestational diabetes journey. It's a dish that's nutritious, satisfying, and absolutely delicious.
Let's savor the Chia Pudding! This dish is a delightful blend of chia seeds, milk of your choice, and your favorite toppings. It's a superfood savior that's perfect for a hearty breakfast or a satisfying snack.
When I was pregnant, I often found myself needing a nutrient-dense and satisfying dish, but with my gestational diabetes, I had to be careful about my food choices. That's when I discovered the magic of the Chia Pudding. It was like a superfood-packed dessert, and the best part? It was completely guilt-free! The balance of fiber and protein from the chia seeds and the milk kept my blood sugar levels stable, while the variety of flavors and textures satisfied my cravings. It was the perfect solution to my meal-time dilemmas!
This recipe was a lifesaver for me during my pregnancy. It's so simple, yet so satisfying. The chia seeds form a pudding-like consistency when soaked in milk, and when topped with fresh fruit, it's a combination that's both nutritious and satisfying. Plus, it's quick and easy to prepare, which is a huge bonus when you're dealing with pregnancy fatigue.
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup milk (you can use any kind you like, I prefer almond milk)
- A handful of your favorite fruits (berries work great)
Mix the chia seeds and milk in a bowl
Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible
Once the chia seeds have absorbed the milk and formed a pudding-like consistency, top with your favorite fruits
That's it! You're ready to enjoy your nutritious and satisfying snack
Once you've prepared the chia pudding, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will thicken and set as it chills. If you have any leftovers, they can be stored for up to 3-4 days. Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir as it may have settled. Enjoy it cold, or you can let it come to room temperature before eating.
