Seasonal Chia Magic: One Super Seed, Three Seasonal Breakfasts

If there’s one ingredient that deserves the title “tiny but mighty”, it’s chia seeds. These little black pearls are packed with fiber, Omega-3s, Calcium, Magnesium and antioxidants, and they form a satisfying gel that keeps you full for hours.

From a traditional point of view, chia helps moisten dryness in the lungs and intestines, making it a great ally for the autumn and winter seasons when dryness prevails.

The best thing? You can create endless versions of chia pudding depending on the season, mood and what’s in your fridge. Here are 3 delicious, easy, nourishing chia puddings, one for each time of year.

Winter Chia Pudding: Warming & Comforting

Optional: 2 tbsp oats A spoonful of Greek yogurt for decoration (can be omitted)

A bit of cinnamon to warm you up

A few nuts or sesame seeds for crunch

Mix the milk and marmalade thoroughly, then add the chia seeds. Stir well and leave overnight in the fridge. In the morning, add a spoon of yogurt and nuts just before serving.
