I’ll admit, I can be one of those annoying people everyone avoids at the party. You know the kind. That one person who brags about how healthy they are, what kind of diet they’re on, or the new healthy recipe they just invented and then wrote a blog about. 🤣

But hey, I admit my faults and I accept them, because I do take pride in being healthy. But there are things that can keep me from my goals. And one of the big ones is the time it can take to make a healthy recipe. 

When I’m feeling lazy, it can be tough to get motivated to whip up something spectacular in the kitchen, leaving me to eat something I’ll most definitely feel guilty about later on, or worse, have me at the nearest drive-thru. 

That’s why this pink, yes pink, overnight chia seed pudding recipe is the perfect solution for when I encounter my busiest weeks. It cooks overnight so I don’t have to worry about a thing when I wake up, and it’s packed with anti-aging, weight-loss friendly ingredients that will leave your skin and waistline feeling very thankful. 

The best part? It’s pink…🤗

Benefits Of Chia Seeds


Chia seeds have become increasingly popular in the wellness world lately, but they have actually been around for a long time! Despite the fact that chia seed sales have skyrocketed over the last decade, these little guys aren’t anything new at all. Back in the day, the Aztecs and Mayans regarded them highly for their sustainable energy and high-in-health benefits.

Finally, modern day nutritionists and health-conscious people everywhere have realized why the Aztecs prized chia seeds so much!

This chia seed pudding recipe makes it easy to pack the powerful health punches of chia seeds, with bonus ingredients for smooth skin and weight loss!

Boosts antioxidants


Chia seeds are high in antioxidants, making this chia seed pudding extremely beneficial for your body’s cells. Antioxidants help fight off free-radicals, which can damage your cells, causing signs of premature aging, and in more serious cases, long-term health issues
(1).

So, when you learn how to make chia seed pudding, you’re not only fighting the signs of aging, but also packing in some healthy protection for your body. 😊

Filled with healthy nutrients


Tiny but mighty, chia seeds have a ton of nutrients! A one-ounce serving of chia seeds contains fiber, protein, omega-3s, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and vitamin B3
(2), just to name a few. 

And not only that, but one ounce of chia seeds contains only 137 calories! So, I guess it’s safe to say that chia seed pudding is deliciously & nutritiously slimming!

High fiber & supports weight loss


28 grams of chia seeds (one ounce), has 12 grams of carbs. The great news is that 11 of those grams are fiber! What does this mean? Well, even though fiber
is in the carbohydrate family, it does not raise blood sugar and your body doesn’t digest it, completely different from digestible carbs such as sugar. 

So, keto dieters rejoice! This chia seed pudding recipe is 100% a low-carb food. 🎉

And because of its high soluble fiber content, chia seeds absorb a TON of water for their weight, take on a jelly-like consistency, and expand in your stomach. This helps you feel fuller and helps you eat fewer calories throughout the day. 

Other benefits


If you’re wondering how to make chia seed pudding, the answer will make you very happy! This is one of the HUGE reasons I love this recipe: It cooks overnight in the fridge! Simple wake up, grab, and go! 

As if this chia seed pudding recipe couldn’t get any better, I’ve also added your favorite anti-aging secret weapon—Super Youth collagen! If you don’t already know, Super Youth collagen contains all 5 types of collagen peptides to help smooth wrinkles, reduce joint pain, and help create stronger, longer, hair & nails.
