Lemon Raspberry Chia Seed Pudding Recipe showcases the bright flavors of Spring and Summer made into a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert!<\/em><\/p>\n Chia seeds are a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and\u00a0quality protein. \u00a0Combined with Greek yogurt and fruit, Chia pudding\u00a0makes a delicious and incredibly healthy snack or dessert. It\u2019s creamy, satisfying and loaded with nutrition. <\/p>\n Check out this post to read more about the health benefits of chia seeds. <\/p>\n You do not need to soak chia seeds before eating them, but soaked and raw chia seeds do have slightly different health benefits.<\/p>\n The biggest difference between soaked and dry is that soaked chia seeds can help to keep you hydrated because they hold up to 12 times their weight in water. This allows for a slow release of hydration and helps to keep you full for longer.<\/p>\n Raw chia seeds have a strong absorbent power and can actually absorb water from your body during the digestion process. If you are wanting to eat raw chia seeds,\u00a0you should plan to\u00a0drink extra water. Raw chia seeds have been shown to be helpful for people who have\u00a0acid reflux\u00a0<\/strong>to relieve some of the symptoms. <\/p>\n The prep for this pudding is simple. \u00a0Mix all the ingredients together in a large container and then it is just a matter of waiting for the chia seeds to do their magic and thicken the mixture to a pudding-like texture.<\/p>\n Chia pudding\u00a0is so very versatile! \u00a0The base is\u00a0just Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds and honey. \u00a0Then you can\u00a0add whatever whole or pureed fruit you like to it. <\/p>\n Combine all ingredients in a large storage\u00a0container that has\u00a0a lid. Make sure all the chia seeds are mixed in, and mash the berries lightly, especially if using frozen raspberries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Place the lid on the container and refrigerate\u00a0overnight or for at least 8 hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Serve with extra raspberries, and a drizzle of honey if desired.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n *You can substitute any kind of milk for the coconut milk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n *The lemon peel (zest) and lemon juice is equal to\u00a01 medium lemon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n *You may use fresh or frozen raspberries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Calories: <\/span>290<\/span>kcal<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Carbohydrates: <\/span>21<\/span>g<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Protein: <\/span>9<\/span>g<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Fat: <\/span>21<\/span>g<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Sodium: <\/span>33<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Fiber: <\/span>7<\/span>g<\/span><\/span> | <\/span>Sugar: <\/span>13<\/span>g<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n![\"Lemon](\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lemon-Raspberry-Chia-Seed-Pudding-Recipe.jpg\")
