Not only is this tasty Chia Pudding recipe jam-packed with tropical flavor, but it’s a healthy, balanced breakfast or snack option that will keep you full all morning or until your next meal thanks to fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

Chia seeds are incredibly rich in fiber, all of the carbohydrates in chia seeds are from fiber, meaning they have 0 net carbs.

And the average person doesn’t get nearly enough fiber, which has so many incredibly benefits:

• Is key for digestive health and keeps our bowels regular

• Lowers cholesterol levels

• Helps control blood sugar levels

• Aids in achieving healthy weight

• Reduces risk of cardiovascular disease and all cancers

Pineapple is incredibly anti-inflammatory, contains bromelain, an enzyme known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Coconut oil (in the coconut milk) boosts metabolism, supports digestive health, keeps you feeling full.

Not only have the medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil been shown to boost metabolism and aid weight loss, but the antibacterial lauric acid in coconut oil also helps maintain digestive health and a balanced gut microbiome.

And who doesn’t want a little metabolism boost and better gut health?
