Time for Some Superfoods
Thanks, Jenn for hosting this fantastic food event!
Happy WIAW! It is another chilly but beautiful day in the city and I thought it was perfect for a super tasty superfood recipe. This time of year I find my eating habits to be less than ideal because it’s cold, and I just want comfort! Well, I’ve found clean comfort with this recipe. The chia seeds leave you full and the cinnamon and chai spices warm you up. This recipe is great for a bedtime snack or for a light breakfast.
What this recipe lacks in beauty, it makes up for in flavour.
Chilly Ch-ch-chia Pudding
Serves 1 (Gluten-free, Vegan, Paleo)
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 scoop VEGA Vanilla Chai Protein
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
Approximately 4 tbs water (add more or less water depending on how thick you’d like your pudding)
Dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice, optional
Directions: Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly and allow the chia to expand and thicken in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Once the mixture is set, dig in and feast on this healthy omega-3 and protein-rich dessert. Eat clean, eat happy.
What recipes are keeping you warm this winter? Do you use chia seeds in your kitchen? What’s your favourite source of omega-3s?
Happy Wednesday and be sure to check out Jenn’s complete WIAW party,

Thanks, girl! I’ve been LOVING your recipes lately, too… Especially since they involve my beloved avocado;)
Chia seeds are so cool. They have so many amazing properties, like their ability to gel up! Awesome-looking recipe. Happy WIAW
Happy WIAW to you too!! Thanks for checking out the recipe, I hope you can taste its goodness soon:)
I really need to try getting that texture of chia seeds.
Learn to love it, girl!! So good for you and really versatile.
I’ve never had chia seeds before but I want to try them.
I hope you do! Some people take a while to get used to the texture so if you’re not crazy about them at first, keep trying!
What else did you eat silly? Feel free to add in what you munched on today!
I know, girl!! It’s been a day of Starbucks shakes, coffee and lots of fruit… Not very pretty but I’m snapping photos and will post them ASAP:) Thanks again for creating this… I love Wednesdays.
Girl this recipe sounds awesome & very filling. Love it! Hope you are doing wonderful <3
