Hi friends!! I feel like I�ve been gone forever, though I was just away for the weekend. But I still missed you guys!
If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I competed in Miss Louisiana USA, my last pageant ever, this past weekend. I didn�t place, and that was totally okay with me. My goal was to prep in a healthy way without dieting and overexercising (more about this in a post to come) and to be completely myself. I definitely did all of that and couldn�t be prouder!
Here�s what I�m most proud of: unlike most of the girls, I wasn�t drooling over the greasiest, unhealthiest thing I could eat the night after the pageant. I hadn�t restricted anything in my prep. So when I got home, I just got back to doin� my thang � eating whole, plant foods.
Some people don�t believe me when I say that I crave roasted Brussels sprouts or a simple piece of fruit with almond butter. That�s what my body loves. Sure, a bowl of snickerdoodle ice cream or some chips & salsa is good for the soul every now and then. But once you�ve been eating whole, plant foods for so long, that�s what you really want.
The point is that the more plants you eat, the more plants you crave. I crave allllll the plants.
I did crave two particular foods when I got back from the pageant: a banana peanut butter sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread (which is happening this week????) and chia seed pudding. Specific much?
I posted a picture of this matcha chia pudding on Instagram a few weeks ago, and you guys begged for the recipe. Of course I had to oblige!
Matcha green tea powder provides sustained energy instead of a jittery rush like coffee. The healthy fats and fiber in chia seeds will keep you satisfied all morning, or you can make this as a super healthy snack. Top with granola or nuts for some crunch and, of course, some fresh fruit!
If you make this matcha chia pudding or any of my recipes, snap a pic, post it on Instagram, and tag me @emilieeats!
Tell me: What is something you�re proud of right now?

Yield : 1-2
Category : Breakfast
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup chia seeds

4.Top with fresh fruit, granola and other toppings.
