Brain Fuel For Dessert!? Vanilla Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

4 servings

I’m so excited to share this week’s recipe with you. It comes from my son (and amazing chef) Misha. I asked Misha to put together some of his favorite brain boosting recipes in honor of my docu-series, Broken Brain, launching in January.

Here’s what he had to say... What if I told you that dessert could not just be good for you, but GREAT for you? Would you believe me? My Vanilla Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding is a dessert that is not just tasty, but it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.  It is high in vitamins and nutrients and has a punch of high quality fat to help you power through your day, or wind down your evening. When you have the option to avoid sugar, it is better to do so.

However, some people want a little sweetness at the end of a meal. If one chooses to go with any type of sweetener, I suggest going with honey or high quality maple syrups. If you choose to eat this for breakfast, I suggest you avoid the honey, so you can just fire on fat and ketones alone.  

Any way you make it, this pudding, or shake (depending on your level of thickness), is a total treat!
