Blood Sugar Balancing Cinnamon & Cardamon Chia Pudding

Gut smarter

Chia puddings are a great source of plant-based omega 3’s that combat inflammation and modulate stress. Soaking is a traditional method of food preparation, which in the case of chia seeds, helps to reduce anti-nutrients and improve digestibility. Warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom stimulate digestion and assist with blood sugar regulation.

Serves 2 | Gluten-free 

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp French Vanilla Supergut Protein
• 1 tbsp Collagen Restore 
• 5 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp cardamom
• ½ tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp honey 
• 300ml milk of choice 

Method: 

1. Using a small bowl or jug, add your milk, protein, collagen, spices, vanilla essence and honey. 
2. Using a normal or electric hand-held whisk, blend everything until smooth and no clumps remain. 
3. Using two small jars or glass containers add 2 and a half tablespoons of chia seeds to each. Pour in the protein mixture as evenly distributed as possible and whisk with a fork to combine. 
4. Cover the chia pudding with a lid and set in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours or ideally overnight.
5. Once set, top with Greek yoghurt, granola, hemp seeds and raspberries if desired.

Notes:

• Mixing the chia pudding every 3 hours while setting will ensure a nice creamy chia, however, this is not necessary. 
• These chia puddings last in the fridge for a week.
