My favorite chia pudding: Coconut-Beetroot Chia Pudding.

I love chia pudding. I love chia seeds in general! I mean, what's NOT to love?! A mere 1/4 cup provides 6 grams of protein, 11 grams of healthy fats (HELLO OMEGA 3's!), and only 180 calories. I thought I had died and gone to vegan foodie heaven when I learned of all the incredible uses of chia seeds. ESPECIALLY when I discovered my beloved chia pudding. Chia puddings are definitely a go-to quick breakfast for me. Chia gives me so much energy-perfect to power me through a run or skate! 

This particular chia pudding is definitely a new fave. Beets (another of my favorite things!) and coconut go great together, if you're never tried that combo. Quick, easy, ridiculously filling. What are you waiting for?!
