We are getting into a groove at our house with school and work routines.
But…I must admit that getting ready and leaving the house on time can still be challenging…most mornings. I had to step up my meal planning and prep lately in order to get out of the house on time and without being in a state of stress.
That’s where this Raspberry Chia Breakfast Pudding comes in.
As any parent knows, mornings are busy, hectic and sometimes stressful. This is not the way that I like to walk out my door and start my day.
As you know, I love my morning routine (you can read about it in our article What is the Best Morning Routine) and as we get back into early morning departures, I have to take advantage of quick, easy and healthy breakfasts.
This Raspberry Chia Breakfast Pudding is perfect. It can be made the night before and all you need in the morning is enough spoons for everyone. Seriously, this Raspberry Chia Breakfast Pudding rarely makes it into individual bowls before it is gone.
Full-fat organic coconut milk has a smooth and creamy texture and is slightly sweet. It is filled with nutrients and contains a healthy fat called lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that’s easily absorbed and used by the body for energy – something we are all wanting more of.
Pair coconut milk with chia seeds, which offer a quick and easy way to get some protein, fat, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins, and you’ve got a delicious, nutrient dense start to your day.
Here’s how to get a head start on your mornings.
Psst…if you want a little more try adding my Simply Delicious Strawberry Rhubarb muffins to it.
