Beetroot juice chia pudding (vegan, GF)

May 26, 2017 By travellingoven 27 Comments

Ok, I know that this may sound a bit weird to some of you, like ‘why would I put beetroot juice in my chia pudding?’ but please trust me when I say that there are so many reason to try this out. First, it looks pretty because of the gorgeous colour beetroot juice gives to otherwise rather boring looking regular chia pudding. Second, it is so healthy that you can jump from the excitement about doing something amazing for your body and your health. Third, it doesn’t taste weird at all and when given a bit of sweetener like maple syrup or honey, it actually tastes like dessert, a very healthy, creamy and delicious dessert! Did I convince you just yet? 😉

I actually really love drinking beetroot juice and I would highly recommend it, it is one of the healthiest juices we could drink (of course make sure it has no added sugar) and it has so many benefits for our health that you could write a book only on the subject of beetroot! It has powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties and is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, manganese, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper and selenium (the list goes on…). Drinking beetroot juice can help lower blood pressure, improve digestion, fight inflammation (and inflammation is responsible for so many of our health problems so we need to fight it with all that we got!), boost energy and yes, the list goes on again! 😀

I’ve been going through some stressful times (not to mention that I have a move to another apartment and another part of the city coming very soon!) and in those times I always try to take care for my body and soul as much as I can. For my body, by increasing the beautiful nutritive rich food that helps me fight the stress and for my soul, by increasing the self-care rituals and make sure I find the time for the little things that make me happy. So enjoying this healthy breakfast does both actually! Hope you’ll give it a try!

Oh and if you are looking for more ways to eat beetroot, I have a delicious Beetroot, fennel and apple salad on the blog that can be a side dish but also a beautiful healthy lunch.

  4. When chia pudding is done (chis seeds thickened and got pudding-like consistency), you can layer it in the glass.

      Chia sjemenke su neutralnog okusa tako da ih je vazno uklopiti u neke druge fine okuse. 🙂 Hvala puno na lijepim rijecima! <3

    This chia pudding looks absolutely delicious. The color combo is amazing. I never tried beetroot chia pudding before. Now I’m keen to find out how it tastes. Lovely photos, as always 😉 Pinning this to try later.

      Thank you Natalie! I hope you’ll like it if you decide to give it a try, I’m a huge fan of beetroot juice and here it has a very subtle taste because there is only a small quantity. 🙂

to welcome you on my blog!

When you have your own business there are times wh When you have your own business there are times when you don’t have weekends, you don’t have days off, no holidays, when you need to keep going even if you’re going through something difficult and just want to stay in bed… And it’s not always easy. There are also times, specially in the first years, when you don’t know if you are going to make it, if you will earn enough to support yourself, if you will be ‘good enough’… But I wouldn’t change all that for anything because doing what you love is incredibly rewarding and I love photography with all my heart and soul. 
It saved me more than once. It keeps saving me, helps me express myself and what I feel, it gave me back my confidence and a purpose when I nearly lost it. It was the best decision of my life (well, the one of getting a divorce and get out of a really bad marriage is there somewhere too 😅) to take that new path in my late 30s and start all over again… It’s never too late. ❤️
