Salted Caramel Coconut Chia Pudding
Usually, I'm an overnight oats gal but recently I have rediscovered my love for chia puddings!
Why Chia Puddings? Well I love the taste, but they are also high in omega-3 fatty acids which are super important for skin health (something I am really working on).
I also add flaxseeds to this Chia Pudding for an extra hit of healthy omega 3's. And the combination of chia and flaxseeds give you a good boost of fibre which is important for gut health and keeping you feeling full and satiated!
Enjoy!
