FIBRE BOOST RECIPE: RASPBERRY + ALMOND CHIA PUDDING
This January we’re super lucky to have Louise Murray, expert nutritionist and mindfulness coach, providing our members with weekly nutritional challenges as part of the Balance Method. Her challenges are focused around adding goodness in, rather than taking things away.
This week, Louise has challenged our members to increase their fibre intake. The recommended daily amount of fibre for women is 25g whilst for men its 38g, however studies have found that a whopping 90% are not reaching this level!!! But why is fibre important to our diet I hear you ask?
Fibre:
Supports your digestive system
Keeps you fuller for longer
Cuts your risk of type 2 diabetes
Can reduce blood sugar spikes
Is important for gut health
Helps to stabilise your mood
To support you with this challenge, we have created a delicious high in fibre breakfast recipe! Its super simple to make and requires only 6 ingredients. It’s one of those awesome make the night before breakfasts, which is perfect for those of you trying to juggle working from home, childcare, as well as also trying to keep your wellness in check!
This recipe contains 3 high in fibre foods, chia seeds (34.4g per 100g), almonds (13.3g per 100g), and raspberries (6.5g of fibre per 100g). Enjoy this recipe for breakfast and consume just over 11g of fibre towards your daily target.
