For the past few months, chia seeds, whether they’re white, black, whole or ground, have been a hot topic on social networks for foodies. Nutritionally speaking, chia seeds, although small, are chock-full of fibre. One tablespoon of chia seeds provides as much fibre as 2 slices of whole wheat bread (around 4 g). Because the fibre is soluble, it expands and absorbs liquids. This creates a mucilaginous coating, or gel texture, which comes in handy in the kitchen. Chia seeds also contain omega-3 fats, antioxidants, calcium, iron and vitamin C.

Steps

1. Strawberry sauce

   In a bowl, crush the strawberries with a fork or your fingers and add sugar. Refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. This will keep for 3 to 4 days.

2. Chia pudding

   In a bowl, use a whisk to combine the milk, yogurt, coffee and chia seeds. Pour into glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Refrigerate overnight

3. To serve

   Top the chia pudding with 2 tbsp. (30 ml) quick and easy strawberry sauce and 1 tbsp. (15 ml) or more Moka Moments Artisan Blend.

Recommendations

Will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator, do not freeze.

To give your chia pudding an extra boost of protein, add 1/4 cup of skimmed milk powder to the mix. This will yield pudding with 15 g of protein per serving of 190 g.
