Blueberry Almond Chia Pudding
Happy Humpday Folks! Sadly today is the last day of guest post, I know you all have probably loved meeting new bloggers AND seeing some killer recipes!
I thought I would finish off this “week’o’guest’posts” with a bang! A big one at that!
My amazing friend Zainab over at Blahnik Baker is taking over today and I seriously can’t wait for her to share this recipe with you. But above all I’m excited for you to meet her! She is absolutely incredible, a smarty pants at heart spending most of her time in the lab, but also a culinary genius who creates some tasty treats that she shares on her blog! She is super kind hearted, always willing to help out in a bind, witty, and such an encouraging woman who I get to call a friend! Please welcome Zainab to JHE today!
Hello fabulous readers of Joyful Healthy Eats! This is Zainab from Blahnik Baker. I am very excited to be sharing a recipe with you today while Krista is traveling!
I’m a student scientist who loves to bake in her down time and blog about all the new dessert recipes I create. Unfortunately, this means I always have something sweet in the house (although my husband disagrees about this downside). This overload of dessert has driven me to be more active and include healthier foods in our diet. It’s all about balance right? One of my biggest challenges though is keeping our meals interesting. That’s where Krista comes in.
I love her blog because she is always sharing delicious healthy recipes and her pictures always make me drooool at 8 in the morning. But above all, she is always dishing out ways we could all eat healthier without sacrificing great taste. Remember her paleo recipe series a few months ago? One of my favorite months around Joyful Healthy Eats. I even made this Balsamic Braised Beef Short Ribs recipe twice; the last time was for our Valentine’s Day dinner. It will remain a classic over here!
I decided to share something delicious and nutritious while Krista is away. I am a big fan of chia – mostly because it is such a quick, simple and guiltless breakfast I can pre-make and have to grab on my way to the lab each morning. This blueberry almond chia pudding is packed with protein, omega-3s, fibers and not to mention all those antioxidants that the blueberries provide. Excited yet? Well there is no need to further talk you into this, here is the recipe.

Hi Tammy, I’m so sorry to hear that. There was a typo on the recipe that we just caught when you mentioned this. There was too much almond milk. I hope you can try it again. It’s corrected now. Sorry again.
Looks so simple and healthy- love it! I’m always a big fan of breakfast that can be prepared the night before – let’s just say mornings are not my best time 🙂
I know right! Easy simple and delicious is totally the way to go with breakfast, loved this recipe by Zainab! A total stunner for sure!
Zainab, I can’t wait to try this, it looks delicious! Hope you had a great trip Krista 🙂
I know! It seriously looks amazing, Zainab always creates the best stuff!
Love how simple this recipe is! And can you believe that I STILL haven’t tried chia seeds yet?? I seriously need to get over the whole chia pet image I have in my head, lol. 😉 Pinned.
Carrie!! Go try them, not only are they good but you feel like the best momma ever sneaking healthy nutrients into your kiddos food. 🙂
YUM!! Your pudding looks absolutely amazing Zainab. That is definitely a breakfast that I would love to have. 🙂
I me too… in fact might make it this week! 🙂
Wow – ok I am not too familiar with Chia but this is the second recipe this week that has made me want to try it. This sounds scrumptious (as does your Coconut Vanilla Chia pudding). So fun seeing you over here at Krista’s! Pinned!
Chia is awesome Claire! And such a great way to sneak in some nutrients. I can’t wait to try this recipe too, yum!
