Autumn-flavored chia pudding

Fall is the peak pumpkin season! With its soft, sweet notes, pumpkin offers an array of possibilities for cooking.

And voilà - the perfect treat! Every bite is a sheer delight. It's the perfect energy-boosting snack, or the most delectable dessert to dazzle your guests and conclude a meal on a high note. A palate-pleasing pudding that not only satisfies but also provides us with all the benefits of Bio-K+ probiotics.

Long live probiotics!

It has been proven that several factors have a significant impact on the balance of the intestinal microbiota and, consequently, have a positive impact on immune health. A diet rich in a variety of plant-based foods is one such factor, as is the regular consumption of probiotics.
