Health Benefits Of Chia Seeds

Health Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are nutrition powerhouses packed with:

• Fiber: 9.8g per oz helps support gut health and digestion.
• Omega-3 ALA: 5g per oz contributes to heart health.
• Protein: 4.7g per oz assists in muscle recovery.
• Minerals: Includes calcium (14% DV), magnesium (23% DV), and phosphorus (20% DV).

Chia seeds promote heart health by lowering blood pressure, combat inflammation, support bone health, and can aid in weight management by promoting satiety.

The Role Of Collagen Peptides

The Role of Collagen Peptides

Collagen peptides are essential for enhancing the protein content of your pudding, supporting skin elasticity, joint health, and overall gut function. They easily dissolve in cold liquids, making them perfect for chia pudding. These peptides don't alter the texture or flavor of your dish, allowing you to enjoy the mocha taste while reaping their benefits.

Step-By-Step Preparation Guide

Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and coffee.
2. Whisk Together: Vigorously whisk the mixture for 1-2 minutes to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
3. Divide and Refrigerate: Pour the mixture into individual jars, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This way, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and expand into pudding.
4. Stir and Serve: Before enjoying, give the pudding a good stir and add your choice of toppings such as nuts, berries, or coconut.
