Mint Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Healthy Eating· Recipes

Jump to Recipe

If you’ve been following for a while, it’s no secret that I eat chia seed pudding for breakfast on the regular. It’s easy, it’s high in nutrients, and it’s filling. I have a basic mix that includes milk, cinnamon and maple syrup, but every once in a while I try a variation like this mint chocolate one.

It took me a couple tries to realize that less is more when it comes to the mint flavor. My first batch, I about burned my nose hairs because I added way too much! And speaking of mint, the green color actually comes from matcha green tea powder! I found these individual packs at Trader Joes and they were the perfect amount.

And last but certainly not least…the “chocolate” part of this Mint Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding is really just a chocolate banana smoothie that can and should be a regular smoothie staple in everyone’s household! I’ve tried cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder and both resulted in a creamy chocolate layer for this breakfast treat.

I can’t decide if this should be for breakfast or dessert. I’ll let you choose. 😉

Stay Healthy!

I was telling some friends last night about my usu I was telling some friends last night about my usual  breakfast, why I make it every day (makes meal tracking easier) and how I boost the protein (1-2 egg whites depending on my mood), and it inspired me to make a reel. 🤷🏻‍♀️
✅Add steel cut quick oats & water, measured based on package directions, to a large bowl big enough to allow for expansion during cooking (I’ve made a very messy mistake before!)
✅Add 1 or 2 egg whites
✅Whisk to break up the egg whites, unless you REALLY like large chunks of eggs in your oatmeal 😬
✅Add a dash of salt, optional
✅Microwave according to directions
✅Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup
Other add-ins: berries, bananas, honey, protein powder

Made with 2 egg whites, this packs a ~13.5g protein punch. When I combine with my collagen protein powder in my coffee, I’m at ~30g protein for breakfast! 💪🏼

I use @myfitnesspal to track so I can either pre-fill my breakfast all week. Or just copy from day to day. Easy peasy!

So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Bran So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Brand Advocate. Mainly I did it because I was already finding a lot of products I liked, and becoming a consultant offered some perks to support my habit! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also the more I dug into the brand, the more I realized how in line it was with the lifestyle I’m trying to live. The clean ratings for the Beautycounter line is always high (check out EWG) so I feel good about using it on my skin. BUT I’m not a salesperson, I don’t ever want my friends to feel pressured to buy anything I’m “selling”, and I really don’t have time to wear another hat in my life 😜. So if you happen to discover the line on your own and are interested in buying a product or 2 to try, send me a message or go to my page at beautycounter.com/angelafuentes. But otherwise, my plan is to not do much promoting. I’ll just be here if you need me ☺️.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mi Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mix I made tonight to boost my festive taco dinner. 🌮 The mix definitely needs a little tartness, so don’t forget the splash of lime juice and club soda in each glass before serving. Salud! 🪅

Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it is also one of the most preventable. Take these steps to lower your risk:
☀️Seek shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm when the sun is the strongest.
☀️Use physical barriers to protect your skin (clothing, hats, umbrellas, sunglasses).
☀️Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 15 or more, every day. Apply 1 ounce to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
☀️Swipe to see 2 of my favorite sunscreen brands, @supergoop and @beautycounter . Supergoop has an EWG rating of 2 ✅ and Beautycounter is EWG Verified (highest rating)✅. 

☀️Stay healthy! 🕶️
