Once you make this apple pie chia pudding, you won’t want to enjoy chia pudding any other way. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and then you leave it in the fridge overnight to set. When you wake up the next morning, your chia pudding will be ready to go. That’s why we love chia pudding for beginner meal prep. The prep work is very minimal, but the result is incredible!
Chia seeds are rich in various nutrients, including fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and more. The fiber works to keep you full and promotes healthier digestion. Researchers note that eating a good amount of fiber also helps to improve heart health and may lower cholesterol levels. And it can be difficult to figure out how to enjoy chia seeds if you are new to them. That’s why we love chia pudding. It’s a great entry point to utilize these superfood seeds and you can enjoy it as a breakfast or dessert option!
The chia pudding is great, but the apple pie topping truly makes the dish. The topping is basically what apple pie filling is, only it doesn’t contain tons of brown sugar or butter. This topping contains coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup, so it really embraces fall flavors. There is really nothing to dislike about this nutritious breakfast or satisfying dessert. Make it your way and let us know how you like it!
