Idea 81. Thai Coconut Milk Chia Pudding.

Chia seeds are often considered a superfood because they pack an impressive amount of nutrition into a tiny seed. They are rich in fiber, omega3, protein, calcium, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, helping support heart health, digestion, bone strength, and steady energy levels. When soaked, they absorb water and form a gel-like texture that promotes hydration and fullness, making them one of the most nutrient rich foods you can add to a your plant based diet. Thank you for choosing chia today to get Calcium, rather than stealing the milk of a baby cow and separating them at birth. I love you.

Notes*

–Chia seeds are one of the most micronutrient rich foods. Their main micronutrients include:

Calcium – supports bones, teeth, muscle function, and nerve signaling.
Magnesium – important for energy production, muscle function, and hundreds of enzymatic reactions.
Phosphorus – works with calcium to support bones and teeth.
Manganese – helps with metabolism, antioxidant defense, and bone health.
Copper – supports iron metabolism, energy production, and connective tissue formation.
Iron – helps transport oxygen throughout the body.
Zinc – supports immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis.
Selenium – contributes to antioxidant protection and thyroid function.
Potassium – helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and blood pressure.

Chia seeds are also exceptionally rich in fiber and ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which aren’t micronutrients but are among their most notable nutritional benefits.

Directions:

Mix the chia seeds with the coconut milk and put the mix in your fridge overnight.
Add peanut butter, fresh banana, apple, chocolate chips, walnuts & cinnamon in the morning.
Enjoy.
