SLB CHIA BOWL
What you put in your body really matters and chia pudding is nothing short of amazing for your health and well-being. This chia bowl has become a morning ritual of mine - a foundational start to my day that elevates my entire day. The chia pudding base recipe is pretty simple but the standout superfood toppings make it next level - the textures and sweet-tart flavor is just perfection. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free. I prefer to make this the night before so it has time to thicken up.
Blueberries, golden berries and goji berries are all high in antioxidants, reduce stress and anxiety while boosting athletic performance and aid in weight loss. Cacao is decadent, full of antioxidants (40x the antioxidants of blueberries), and helps to sustain energy, relieve stress and boosts your mood. Coconut manna contains all parts of the coconut, including water, meat and oil. It’s rich in lauric acid, an antimicrobial compound that regulates the immune system, aids in weight loss, boosts athletic performance and enhances brain function. A little goes a long way (1 tbsp = 100 calories) so you just need to warm it up by placing the container in a pot of hot water for five minutes, then give it a good stir since the oil is at the top.
Toppings: blueberries, golden berries, goji berries, cacao and a drizzle of melted coconut manna (optional)
