You can eat this delicious pudding as breakfast and quickly prepare it the night before. Oats are rich in healthy soluble fiber, and chia seeds and almond butter give you super healthy fats as well as plant protein, which will help you feel fuller for longer. Plus, the warming and delicious spices are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties that can help control blood sugar levels.
