A great option for a gluten-free, low-sugar dessert that can help with weight loss is a Chia Seed Pudding. It’s nutritious, filling, and easy to make! Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (like stevia or erythritol, optional)
- Fresh fruits for topping (like berries or sliced bananas)
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well to ensure there are no clumps.
- Let It Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
- Serve: Once set, give it a good stir, and serve it in bowls or jars. Top with your favorite fresh fruits for added flavor and nutrients.
This dessert is not only gluten-free and low in sugar, but it’s also packed with fiber and healthy fats, making it a satisfying option that can support your weight loss goals! Enjoy!
