A fun twist to a standard chia pudding is adding some spice to mimic a warm dessert. This can be a great on-the-go breakfast or a guilt-free dessert to serve after dinner when you need something sweet.

The delicate apple flavour, warm cinnamon and zesty ginger are brought together in a perfect balance in this creamy chia pudding. Honey adds a natural sweetness, tying it all together. As a bonus, add warm, soft-boiled and seasoned apples as a garnish. This not only adds delicious flavour and texture but contrast the seasoned pudding. A sprinkle of pecan nuts, or any nuts of your choice, can add a crunchy twist.

This special treat helps ensure that even when your life gets busy, you still get to enjoy a comforting, low-calorie meal. It’s perfect for meal prep. If you prefer a sugar-free option, swap out the honey for stevia, xylitol or erythritol.

The health benefits

This apple and spice pudding will help ensure you still meet your nutrient goals. If you tend to struggle with slower digestion, the high fibre content of this meal has you covered. Just ensure that you still stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as starting a high fibre diet could lead to constipation the first day if you go from very low to very high fibre overnight. So, half the portion if you're not used to having chia pudding in your diet.

Overall, it offers 31% of the average fibre daily requirement, helping with satiety, feeding your good gut bacteria, and assisting with motility. The healthy plant fats from the chia seeds and nuts, if you include them, are great for your heart health, as they are good sources of HDL cholesterol. Think of this type of cholesterol as the one that cleans up the cholesterol from inside your blood vessels, helping avoid them getting clogged. Another bonus, the ALA omega-3 from the seeds and nuts can help with managing inflammation in the body. It’s another win for your heart and body as a whole.

Thanks to the chia seeds, you give your body a boost of minerals, copper and manganese, which are great for creating energy, keeping your bones strong, plus the antioxidants protect your cells from damage. Another mineral found in this pudding is magnesium, which is a superstar mineral as it helps in over 300 different processes in your body, like muscle relaxation, nerve function, and stress management. These are all important for reducing feelings of tiredness and even fighting off mid-year fatigue.

So, if you are trying to have a cereal- or bread-free breakfast, or a maybe just a dessert that still does your body some good, this apple and spice chia pudding is the way to go.
