Carrot Cake Chia Pots

Carrot Cake Chia Pots

My Carrot Cake Chia Pots make a nutrient packed, energising and satisfying breakfast. They are rich in fibre, antioxidants, protein, and healthy fats to support overall wellness. 

Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fibre, promoting heart health and supporting digestion. 

Carrots provide your body with beta-carotene and antioxidants, essential for healthy eyes and glowing skin. 

Walnuts add a dose of healthy fats, that include omega-3 and vitamin E, which is great for brain function and cardiovascular health. 

A generous spoonful of cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels, while Healthy Chef Organic Pea Protein supports lean, toned muscle and keeps you fuller for longer.

You can sweeten to taste by adding a little monk fruit or maple and enjoy with a dollop of yoghurt on top. Try making a batch of these yummy puddings at the beginning of the week, they last about 5 days in the fridge.
