How I make my chia seed pudding for skin & gut health

Random things I did that made me feel better. Number one, I pooped more. Mhmm. I got the biggest glow up of my life when I fixed my gut health. A few years ago, my skin looked like this, and this was when I was stuck in a protein overload obsession, no emphasis on fiber or probiotics. I was eating processed foods thinking they were healthy, and I was definitely not having good regular poops. I have to report now that my BMs are of a very high quality. My hair is long and shiny. My skin is clear and glowy and I'm still building muscle, so my gut is just so much healthier and I don't feel heavy and inflamed all the time anymore. The best way to poop more is obviously to eat more fiber, specifically soluble fiber. It's time to make some chia pudding. The best ratio that I found is for every 1 cup (250 mL) milk to 4 tablespoons (40g) chia seeds, you're going to do 1 cup (250 mL) of milk. I'm going to triple that. I'm going to do 12 tablespoons (120g) of chia seeds and then 3 cups (750 mL) of milk. I'm using a food scale is very, very helpful. When you stir it because it'll help break up the chunks of chia seeds that like to clump together, giving you a smooth texture. I like to use honey to sweeten it. I like to do it now so that everything is super even. You can use maple syrup, you can use agave. I like honey. Stir it again. Pop the lid on and we're going to wait for 10 minutes to stir it again. The reason these chia seeds are so good for pooping more regularly is because they form a gel instead of your gut to help make your poop basically more lubricated. I know that's a terrible word. It makes your poops like slide out of you better. Just make sure you're consuming enough liquid and water with chia seeds or they're just going to clump up into a ball like right here. And then you will be constipated. Also, a lot of people make the mistake of when they hear eat more fiber, they eat a bunch of raw vegetables, carrots, broccoli, basically insoluble fiber. And that's really important because insoluble fiber bulks up your poop. But if you immediately start eating like 25 grams of it when you are not used to that and it's raw, you're going to get constipation. So start slow and chia seed pudding is a great way to start incorporating more fiber. In the meantime, we're going to get some of our probiotics in the morning. This is Siggi's skyr, the best strawberry yogurt I've ever had. It is thick and creamy. With regular yogurt, I like to make a yogurt bowl where I have like a bunch of different toppings, but with this, I like to just eat it by itself because it's so yummy. Probiotics are the other thing you need to have really good poops. Eat more berries, guys. They're probably the yummiest fruits in the world too. They're also packed with fiber. So eat more berries. It's also high protein. I love yogurt. It's been around 8 minutes. You can see that all the chia seeds have accumulated into a really thick gel at the bottom. This is why you want to stir it again before you put it in the fridge. Tomorrow morning, we'll eat this together. It's been around 8 minutes.
