Calcium Rich Breakfast? Sign me up.

Chia pudding is one of the easiest non-dairy ways to get a decent amount of calcium naturally. If you are one of the many people struggling with this, chia seeds and chia pudding can be a great way to get extra calcium into your diet! Not to mention it tastes like a creamy pumpkin spice pie.
What made me try this recipe was the desire not to waste food. I had made pumpkin muffins earlier that day and I had left over pumpkin and coconut milk. I hate to waste. Like it physically pains me. So, I was like, ‘what can I use these with’. ‘Lightbulb’. Pumpkin Chia Pudding. Tried it out and it was a winner. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!

Calcium and Vitamin D

Just a quick reminder as we head into winter. It is very important to think about starting supplementing with Vitamin D. As you know, we get our Vitamin D from the sun and through our diet.
In order to get enough Vitamin D by the sun, you need morning sun everyday from 8AM-10AM, for about 15 minutes, full sun on your whole body. WHOLE BODY. You need to be in a bikini or naked. Most of us don’t even get that kind of exposure in the summer! It’s not very realistic.
Supplementing is the easiest way to get that Vitamin D your body needs. Especially going into winter.
Why this is relevant is because your body cannot absorbed the calcium you ingest – whether that be through food or supplementing – without the proper Vitamin D in your body.
So, remember that when you are choosing foods that have a lot of calcium, that in order for it to absorb and benefit your body, you must have proper V-D! Just something to think about!
Hope this serves you! 🙂

The Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
• 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
• 1 Tbsp Honey

• 1/4 Cup Pumpkin Puree

Method:

1. First you are going to add your 2 tbsp of chia seeds, followed by the pumpkin puree and then the coconut milk.

2. Next you are going to get your honey, make sure you use a wooden spoon of sorts. Not a metal one, it messes with the honey.
3. Then you will add the pumpkin spice.

4. Mix very well with a plastic spatula. Make sure you get all the clumped chia from the bottom and break it up. Place your lid on top and put it in the fridge till tomorrow!

5. The next morning they should be ready to go! I hope you enjoy this!
