Quick & Easy Coconut Chia Pudding Recipe - Vegan and Gluten-Free
For sound healer and kundalini yoga instructor Susy Markoe Schieffelin, her morning routine is a critical part of setting her day up for success. And in any solid morning routine, a healthy, filling breakfast is a cornerstone. Susy reaches for a bowl of vegan chia pudding with coconut cream to give her fuel for the day: “My favorite breakfast right now is homemade coconut chia seed pudding! I became obsessed with it when I was leading a retreat in Bali in October. It’s so easy.”
Starting off your day with chia seeds is a smart move. Calorie for calorie, they are one of the most nutrient-dense foods around. Loaded with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, chia seeds are easy to incorporate in your diet and chia seed pudding can be made overnight and ready to eat the next day.
Check out Susy’s coconut chia pudding recipe below. (Tip: Make it extra warm, earthy, and grounding by making golden milk chia pudding).
