Berry Chia Pudding

This is a quick and easy hormone-healthy pudding recipe you can have for breakfast, as a snack, or as dessert. You can use different fruit if you’d like. You can choose a different plant-based milk, but soy has more protein (~8g per cup) so I prefer to use that for supporting blood sugar and satiety. Plus, if you’re in your premenstrual week, soy protein helps with lesser PMS symptoms!

  • 4tsp chia seeds (you can use black ones which would be great, but the pudding will taste grainier; I like to use white chia seeds in this recipe
  • 1 cup plain soy milk
  • 1/2 cup frozen berries (I like wild blueberries but you can use whatever you’d like!)
  • optional: 1 tbsp coconut flakes or shreds, additional fruit for topping, ground flax to sprinkle on top for more fibre, chocolate shavings)

Blend fruit and milk together. (If you’re using blueberries, the colour is a beautiful purple.) Pour this into a bowl, mix in the chia seeds. Cover the bowl with a lid and leave in the fridge before topping it off with the coconut shreds/flax/chocolate shavings/additional fruit.
