Cooking Tips
- Sweetener Substitute: For those closely managing blood sugar levels, consider using a sugar-free syrup or a small amount of stevia as an alternative to honey or maple syrup.
- Texture Adjustment: For a thinner pudding, add more almond milk. For a thicker consistency, increase the chia seeds slightly.
- Enhanced Flavour: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to enhance the flavour without adding sugar.
- Nutrition Boost: Mix in a tablespoon of protein powder to increase the protein content, making it more satiating and blood sugar-friendly.
