As a registered dietitian, I am always looking for healthy breakfast ideas to keep us going all morning long. Did you know that 2 tbsp of chia seeds provides 11 grams of fibre, 4 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy essential fats. Most people think of chia seed pudding as breakfast but this raspberry chia seed pudding is so delicious that you could really eat it any time of the day. I sometimes pack it for the girls school lunches or serve it as an after school snack.

When serving chia seed pudding for breakfast, I like to add homemade granola, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of hemp hearts. For this  chia seed pudding,  I made my own raspberry chia seed pudding.  It’s super easy to make and takes less than 10 minutes. Here is a recipe, I substituted raspberries for the strawberries.
