Magic Blue Chia Pudding

By

I am nuttzo about the texture of chia pudding! If you haven’t tried it, “fluffy” is the best way to describe it. If you have, then you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout! Since we’re in the season of chilled breakfasts and rushed mornings getting to camp on time, I’m all about overnight oats, chia pudding, or a quick smoothie I can take with me in the car.

This recipe is a basic chia pudding with some of the fantastical Blue Majik I bought a few weeks ago stirred in. This stuff is simply blue fun with some bonus nutritional benefits. It’s expensive, and honestly if I didn’t have a reason to want to jazz up foods in beautiful colors (a blog), I’m not sure I’d buy it, BUT spirulina does have its benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so it’s good timing for me to take it with all the SI joint pain I’m feeling from this pregnancy. (Read a summary of all its benefits here.) Plus a little goes a loooong way. It’s a great way to naturally turn things magic blue!

Naturally I prepare the chia pudding in a jar. Add all of your ingredients and then give it a good shake! You can eat out of your jar or pour into a pretty bowl. Or take it with you!

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
