Mango Chia Pudding

It’s cold. It’s refreshing. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. It makes a great breakfast, snack or dessert. And it’s best served in jars with really cool lids!

I’ve partnered with Mason Jar Lifestyle to share this chia pudding recipe using some of their products. They make all kinds of mason jar accessories, from every kind of lid you can imagine to reusable straws, soap pumps, silicone sleeves, and solar lights! I have put everything they sent me to good use around my household. (And you can snag some with the 10% off coupon katheats!)

Now, back to the chia pudding, which fits four servings neatly into little half pint jars.

I started with frozen mango (which saves a lot of time not having to peel), but of course you can use fresh too!

To the mango add a banana, a cup of milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, and blend.

Meanwhile, put a scant quarter cup of chia seeds into the bottom of each jar.

Chia seeds contain a ton of good-for-you nutrients, including fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. And I love their texture when soaked in liquid!

Pour your smoothie mixture on top of the seeds, equally between the four jars.

And then give them a big stir to mix the seeds throughout.

Note that there are no added sweeteners in this recipe, but if you like things on the sweet side, you might want to add a drizzle of honey to the mixture.

Then top with lids and chill for at least 2 hours. (Love the copper and cork lids!)

Chia seeds are also very hydrating, so I had this snack before two of my workouts last week!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
