The creamy, dreamy, nutrient-dense snack your gut, skin, and energy will thank you for.

Let’s talk about one of my absolute favorite staples that checks all the boxes: easy to make, super nourishing, endlessly customizable, and totally delicious.

Meet: My Signature Chia Pudding — a creamy, protein-packed bowl of goodness that supports your gut, balances your energy, and satisfies those sweet cravings without the crash.

Here’s what’s in it:

🧉 2 cups homemade coconut milk
(I make mine with 1 can of coconut cream + 1.5 cans filtered water — shake or blend well)

🌱 4 tablespoons chia seeds
💪 2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds
🌼 1 scoop of protein powder I use dõTerra Plant Protein (vanilla & vegan)
✨ Blend it all together with a handheld frother or immersion blender until smooth and well mixed.

Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour (overnight is perfect). It thickens into the most dreamy, creamy pudding. Top it off with a dash of cinnamon, fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, cacao nibs — whatever floats your boat.

So why is this little bowl so powerful?

Glad you asked.

🧠 Brain Boost + Energy Balance

The combination of healthy fats from coconut and hemp, plus protein and fiber, keeps your blood sugar stable and energy sustained. No crash, no burn — just smooth sailing through your day.

💩 Gut Health Goals

Chia seeds are fiber powerhouses. They act like little brooms, sweeping through your digestive tract, keeping things regular and supporting microbiome diversity. Add in hemp’s easy-to-digest proteins and you’ve got gut support in a spoon.

✨ Glowy Skin & Hormone Harmony

Coconut milk brings MCTs (healthy fats) that support brain and hormone function, while chia and hemp provide anti-inflammatory omega-3s and minerals like zinc and magnesium. These all play a role in cellular repair, glowing skin, and even better sleep.

💪 Protein Power

Chia seeds have protein — about 4–5 grams per 2 tablespoons — and it’s a complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. 💪

So between the chia, the hemp seeds (which are also complete proteins), and your added scoop of protein powder, your pudding is a nutrient-dense, plant-powered trifecta. It’s got fiber, healthy fats, and a serious protein punch — all in one easy recipe.

Whether you’re breaking your fast or refueling after yoga, it’s giving your body what it needs to build, repair, and thrive.

Let’s talk nutrition (approx. per serving)**:

• Healthy fats: ~20-25g (MCTs + Omegas = brain + hormone love)
• Protein: ~15-20g (depending on your powder)
• Fiber: ~12g (hello, digestive support!)
• Sugar: 0-3g depending on your toppings

And it’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and free of refined sugar.

Bonus tip:

Make a double batch and portion it out for a few days. It holds well in the fridge and makes a perfect grab-and-go breakfast, snack, or even dessert. I love mine after dinner for a sweet HEALTHY treat!

Because let’s be real — life gets full. But that doesn’t mean we can’t nourish ourselves with foods that actually do something for us.
