RECIPE: Chia Pudding 3 Ways

This recipe comes to us from the pages of Paige Lindren’s debut cookbook, Sync & Savor: Cycle-Based Nutrition for Hormone Health and Balance.

**********

Chia pudding has been one of my go-to breakfasts for years because it’s like a blank canvas, ready to take on whatever flavors I’m in the mood for. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3s and fiber, which help support steady energy levels — just what you need during the follicular phase as your body gears up for ovulation, when energy demands increase, hormone production ramps up, and balanced blood sugar becomes essential to support your rising estrogen levels.

Chia seeds absorb liquid to create a creamy, pudding-like texture that’s endlessly customizable. If the texture bothers you, you can even blend it! Whether you’re craving earthy matcha (my favorite), sweet berries, or a spiced turmeric kick, these three variations give you options to keep things fresh.
