YOUR REACTION?
Pudding for breakfast? Yes! Here’s a quick and easy mid-week breakfast recipe that’s super healthy — and shows your Patriotic spirit
in honor of the 4th of July. Our favorite thing about this pudding is
that it incorporates chia seeds, which deliver plenty of nutrition for
few additional calories. As Ellen Collis — Everyday Health editor and Wannabe Health Nut
blogger who created the recipe — says, “Chia seeds can be added to just
about anything (smoothies, muffins, oatmeal, and more) to offer a
healthy dose of fiber, protein, calcium, iron and heart-healthy
omega-3s.” With all those nutrients, plus juicy red and blue berries and
some protein-rich Greek yogurt, this is a fast morning meal that will
provide you with long-lasting energy and delicious summery taste!
Patriotic Coconut Berry Chia Seed Pudding
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 2% Fage Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons pure honey
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 teaspoons coconut butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup toasted flaked, unsweetened coconut
- *Optional: Toasted shredded coconut flakes for topping
- *Berries or fruit of your choice: Ellen used blueberries and strawberries for her “Patriotic” theme, but anything goes!
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, coconut milk, chia seeds, honey, shredded coconut, coconut butter, coconut oil and salt until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to chill and thicken, for at least 2 hours or even overnight. You might want to go back and give it a good stir a couple times to get the lumps out!
