Healthy Eating: Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds are packed with huge amounts of anti-oxidants, which help fight off free radicals in our body and keep it our cells healthy. These seeds are originated in South America and are related to Mint.
These little bad boys are used in a lot of diet plans because they contain high levels of protein and fiber, which contributes to losing weight. I usually like to mix them in a bottle of water; when they are mixed with liquids, they start to puff up. When you ingest it, you start to feel fullness thus contributing to a reduce appetite. The less you feel hungry, the less you eat.
This is a simple chia seed pudding base that you can add anything that you want. It is a great snack before and after working out. The amount of protein helps the muscles recover after a strenuous work out.
