The viral chia seed applesauce is worth the hype. Credit @Brittany Carpenter | MS, RD/LD If Greek yogurt isn’t your favorite, this is one of the easiest ways I’ve found to add chia seeds to your diet. Ingredients: • 8 ounces unsweetened applesauce • 1½ tablespoons chia seeds • Cinnamon (optional) Mix the applesauce and chia seeds together really well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you want it even thicker. Top with a little cinnamon and enjoy. What I like most about this recipe is how easy it is to eat. The chia seeds soften as they sit, and the applesauce makes the texture much lighter than something like Greek yogurt. If you don’t love thick foods, this can be a great alternative. Chia seeds are rich in fiber and can help support digestive health, gut health, bowel regularity, fullness, satiety, and healthy eating. One important tip: drink at least 8 ounces of water after eating it. Chia seeds absorb water, so staying hydrated helps them do what they’re supposed to do. Not a fan of chia seeds? You can make a similar snack by mashing fresh raspberries or ripe mango into applesauce for a naturally sweet, fruit-packed alternative. Simple ingredients. Easy recipe. High in fiber. Great for gut health. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep.
