We’re about to head into the season where digestive troubles have a habit of creeping up. Office parties, family gatherings and more snacky nights on the sofa watching Netflix to avoid the cold outdoors. This is the time of year where we eat foods we don’t usually eat and our bodies protest with digestive upset.
My friends, it’s time to trust your gut and listen to your body.
Now more than ever, we need to be consuming high fibre foods. No, that doesn’t mean dry toast and apples. I like to add fibre to my desserts in fun ways (because my sweet tooth is always calling), so today I’m sharing this apple pie chia seed pudding.
This apple pie chia seed pudding makes a delicious breakfast, a healthy after school snack, or an after the kids go to bed treat. It gives me the feeling of satisfaction both for my sweet tooth and my appetite for a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to fibre-rich foods, here are a few tips to help you with the inevitable digestive upsets of the season.
How to get rid of constipation
1/4 Canadians have symptoms of constipation; it affects everyone from the young to the elderly. Constipation happens, and when it does, here are ways to treat it:
- Consume fibre-rich foods (apples, lentils, toast).
- Get moving (get in those daily steps or hit the gym).
- Drink lots of water (constipation could be because of a lack of fluids, fibre or physical activity).
- If all else fails, try Dulcolax®.
Dulcolax is an over the counter treatment of occasional constipation. It’s taken before you go to sleep so you can have relief the next morning and focus on enjoying your day and making memories with friends and family (not thinking about your gut). Click here to download a Dulcolax coupon.
Apple Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding
Originally this was going to be a traditional chia seed pudding recipe. I was going to put it all in the fridge and let it sit overnight. Then I remembered that apple pie is best served warm, so I put everything in a cast iron skillet and hoped for the best. It turned out beautifully!

I love how simple it is to put together this pudding – I guess that’s the beauty of puddings! This one looks like it’s just so full of flavor.
Wow this looks really good. I have never thought to try making something like this before but now I have to try it out.

I have always wanted to try chia seeds but I am afraid that I would not like them. This apple pie chia pudding looks so good and it makes me want to give chia seeds a try.
They don’t taste like anything, so they’re great! Start by adding a few in your smoothies and then get creative from there.
That looks delicious, I’m always up for something healthy. I’d love to make this someday and easy to make too.
That looks really delicious! And I love how healthy it is. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I will have to make some soon!
I love this kind of healthy treat. My daughter loves chia seeds on her yogurt. I love incorporating it in cookies.
Oh! I’ll have to add it to my next batch of cookies!
This does look and sound interesting. But I Â really do not like the chia seeds though. Â I would be curious to try it.
Hey David.
The chia seeds are soft in this recipe and not crunchy. Give it a try 🙂
