Pumpkin Chia Pudding for Balanced Energy

By Oleksandr Propopenko

Working in the restaurant industry often leads to unhealthy eating habits and even sugar addiction, especially when desserts and quick, carb-heavy options constantly surround you.

It’s easy to rely on sweet treats for a quick burst of energy during a long shift, but that energy spike is usually followed by a crash, leaving you feeling even more drained.

When your blood sugar is balanced, dessert cravings naturally decrease, but if you’re in the mood for something sweet, this Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding is the perfect choice. It’s rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your energy steady.
