Be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or dessert, you should always watch what you are eating. Take note that whatever you eat will always have an impact on your overall health, so be sure to go for smart choices.

What about dessert? Most sweets out there are loaded with sugar. But does this mean that you can no longer satisfy your sweet tooth? Of course, not! You can still treat yourself to a delightful dessert as long as you watch the serving and pick something that is nutritious.

Have you had Chia seeds before? These seeds are flooding most grocery stores and supermarkets. That is because they are becoming highly in demand. The truth is, they are touted as a superfood. They are probably one of the healthiest foods that you can eat on the planet.

Chia seeds, which originated in Central America, offer a massive amount of nutrients but they are very low in calories. With that said, they are definitely a smart choice if you are aiming to lose weight. They are also loaded with antioxidants and almost all the carbs that they contain are fiber. Plus, they are a good source of protein.

So instead of indulging in unhealthy desserts, why not try Chia pudding? Sounds intimidating? This pudding is super simple to make and it only comes with 5 ingredients. You can also add some fresh berries or your choice of fruit slices.
