I get “I’m just not hungry in the morning” a lot from my clients. Stomaching a full breakfast with eggs and the like it’s isn’t everybody’s jam and I totally get that! Having something light that you can grab & go or snack on throughout the morning can make breakfast feel much more doable! This chia pudding is exactly that and it can be made dairy (and gluten) free as well if you’d like! This meal (or snack) is creamy, light, a touch sweet, and can be adjusted for preferences and additional toppings can be added to make it your own. A few minutes of prep and pop it into the fridge and tomorrow you’ll have yourself a healthy and high fiber breakfast to start your day!!

To make this dairy free, choose your favorite non-dairy protein. I like collagen from biotics research or plant based protein from Core Perform.
