Chia grains are a treasure trove of various beneficial amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. However, they are rich in fiber, antioxidants and contain less than 5% carbohydrates. All in all, it's not for nothing that they have gained the reputation of being "super food". Here is the easiest way to prepare them, which gives excellent results. Chia pudding is great for breakfast, but it can be an afternoon snack, a light dinner, or a great dessert.
For one serving you will need:
- 0.5 dl (or 2.5 tablespoons) chia seeds
- 150 ml coconut milk, or cream, or mix one with the other 1: 1, or any proportion to taste
- 1 teaspoon Sukrin or other sweetener (equivalent to 1 teaspoon sugar)
- pinch of cardamom
Pour the chia beans with cream, coconut milk, or a mixture of both, add the sweetener, cardamom and mix thoroughly. The sweetener is an optional component here, especially since coconut milk adds a slight sweetness, but this is a matter of taste. Refrigerate for a few hours - for example, overnight - and the pudding is ready. Garnish with berries and you can eat.
It is useful to remember that coconut milk contains much less carbohydrates - about 1%, than cream - about 3%. So decide for yourself how many carbs you allow yourself to eat with this pudding.
