Introduction
Chia seeds have exploded in popularity for good reason. These tiny superseeds are packed with nutrients, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. But did you know that eating chia seeds at night can lead to some noticeable changes in your health in just one week? From better digestion to improved sleep and even weight management, making chia seeds a nightly habit might be a simple but powerful wellness boost. Here's how to prepare a delicious, easy chia recipe for your nightly ritual—and what changes you might see after 7 days!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
A few berries, nuts, or banana slices for topping (optional)
Directions:
In a jar or bowl, mix the chia seeds and milk together.
Stir well for about 1-2 minutes until the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping.
Add sweetener and cinnamon if using, and stir again.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours).
In the morning (or before bed if prepping early), stir again and add toppings of your choice.
This creates a creamy, pudding-like texture that’s both satisfying and nutrient-dense!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving suggestion: Eat your chia pudding about 30–60 minutes before bed to allow for digestion.
Storage: Chia pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make a batch on Sunday night and you’re set for the week.
Meal prep tip: Use small mason jars for individual servings. Just grab and go (or grab and doze)!
