February Recipes to Warm Your Soul

Winter calls for comforting, nourishing meals, but they don’t have to compromise your wellness goals. Here are three recipes that are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare:

Chocolate Chia Pudding:

I am loving Chia Pudding lately, especially because I can add some protein powder and make it a high protein snack, here is how I make it:

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 2 tbsp of chia

• 3 tbsp of oats

• 1 cup of almond milk

• 1 tbsp of protein powder (chocolate)

• berries

• agave syrup (optional)

• almond butter (optional)

Instructions:

• Mix the chia, the oats, the protein powder and the almond milk in a jar

• Let the jar on a cool place for an hour

• Add your blueberries, the syrup and the almond butter to enjoy

Tip: I like just sealing the container and shake it so everything is well mixed.
