Great job 👏
So do you use coconut milk, just for one of the recipes and you use carton coconut milk for the others?
Hi so glad I found your channel on chia seeds I like that they are good for bone health but didn't know how to eat besides sprinkle on foods so thank you for the healthy n yummy looking recipes…just one request tho need more volume on vids kinda low…thanks you now have a new subscriber!
Stop adding sweeteners to your fool.
Looks yummy I’ll try make all
I tried the chia pudding once, but I cant get over the texture
Just made 2 of the very berry ones and can’t wait to try them! Thank you for giving me ideas to switch up my breakfast and snacks.
Thank you for this amazing recipes. When I watched it, I immediately wanted to make this recipes. 1 o'clock at night. I tried 3 different recipes, we will taste it with my husband tomorrow morning, but I can already smell amazing. I loved your sweet pumpkin and apple recipes!
Nice recipes along with some really good information. Thanks 👍
You’ve got the best chia pudding recipe combos I’ve seen so far!! I wanna try em all!
That’s awesome… I do the frozen berries… love that you added coconut. I love mangos so I use the frozen mangos in the winter. Like all your flavours and I’ll try them… I travel for work and they’re awesome. Thank you for sharing . 💐
i don’t use any sweetener but i do use cinnamon
Excited to try the apple pie recipe
Please add macros.
Looks like coco wheats hot cereal 😮
I just bought 2 pound bag online. Great ideas … I will get coconut milk and some fruits to put on top.
Love this! It is so simple and nutritious ❤❤❤
It’s better to mix chia with hot water and wait only 1 minute , chia will be sticky quickly then mix with any liquid you like
Thanks a lot. Sooo delicious only difficult to remember all these recipes.❤❤❤
you had me at apple pie
I made the original recipe one so far and I loved it but it seemed a little soupy to me after it sat all night long too
I used almond milk maple syrup ground chia seeds and was very careful on the amounts so idk why it seems not like regular pudding sets up? Unless I did something wrong but it was very good
This was a great video. Excellent recipes. Thanks!
is possible to use unsweetened almond milk ?
Yummy
I make mine with a can of full fat coconut milk plus one can full of regular coconut milk. I then blend it with the chia seeds, baking cocoa plus a little bit of sweetener in my VitaMix blender which is very powerful. This grinds up the chia seeds. I don't like the globs of whole chia seeds because they're slimy.
If a person doesn't have a powerful blender he or she can pulverize the chia seeds in a small coffee grinder and then add the powder to the coconut milk.
Gotta be honest here, I had my doubts when I saw this and I thought it's one of those vegan recipes that are just hyped up and end up tasting bland or straight up bad, but I just made the base version with even less sweetener (just 0,5 tbsp) and it blew me away how good just that tasted. Now I already got some berries in the fridge waiting to be thrown in for the next time.
Thanks for the video, mate!
Why dont i see dairy milk used? Is it harmful if we eat chia seeds with dairy milk
Shouldn’t the yogurt be non dairy?
Chia seeds is loaded with lectin.
Awesome thank you so much for sharing WOW
This is actually a brilliant video recently been diagnosed type 2 diabetic and I'm on a huge weight loss journey and these are absolutely fantastic I love the different recipes I was in a blind spot so thank you from me❤
I learned from The Living Light Culinary Institute (have a Raw-Food Chefs Certification) that the 'seed' must be cracked open to benefit from the Omega Oils. Otherwise, it just passes through as fiber. Also learned, DO NOT get Pre-Ground…they lose their nutrient content.
Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely love chia pudding. It’s hard to pick a favorite, mango is definitely delicious and we love the berry, pumpkin. This is our mid afternoon snack, before a very light dinner
