Healthy Pregnancy Snack – Chia Puddings

Chia seeds are loaded with nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy. They are high in protein, omega fatty acids and dietary fibre, which will help regulate bowel movements – a common issue during pregnancy. The rich chocolate flavour is also great for when chocolate cravings hit.

These chia puddings are super nourishing for your growing bump, are easy to make and can be enjoyed as breakfast or a snack.

The best part about this recipe is that you can make it the night before and place in the fridge overnight to set. This way, if you’re short on time, you can take it with you in the morning and eat on the go.
