Guatemalan Weight-Loss Pudding Registered dietician Patricia Bannan shares the many health benefits of chia seeds, a major food crop of the Aztecs and modern-day Guatemalans. Chia seeds are rich in protein, minerals and fiber and contain 500 percent more calcium than milk, as well as the same amount of omega-3s found in salmon. These seeds can absorb 12 times their own weight, making them an appetite-suppresent.
Ingredients
• 3 tbsp chia seeds

Slow-Cooker Apple-Bread Pudding
Slow-Cooker Apple-Bread Pudding
Only a few minutes are needed to assemble this rich-tasting dessert.
Comfort food at its finest! This slow-cooker bread pudding tastes decadent, thanks to its moist texture and a generous sprinkling of chocolate chips. So go ahead and enjoy—it’s actually lower in fat than you’d expect.
Recipe Times:
Total Time : 3 to 4 hours and 10 minutes
Prep Time : 10 minutes
Cook Time : 3 to 4 hours
Servings : 8
Ingredients:
6 cups crusty bread (such as French bread or a baguette), cut into 1/2-inch pieces (preferably a day old)
2 medium-size tart apples, peeled, cored and shredded
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup fat-free egg product
3/4 cup water
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, preferably low in fat
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup apple juice
Directions:
step 1 Coat the insert of a large (6-quart) slow cooker with a light application of butter or margarine. Add the bread pieces to the slow cooker. Distribute the shredded apple on top of the bread layer. Then sprinkle the raisins and chocolate chips over the apple.
step 2 In a medium bowl, combine the egg product with the water, condensed milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice; whisk to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker, pressing down with a spoon or a spatula to make sure the liquid ingredients completely moisten the bread.
step 3 Cover the insert and cook on the low setting 3 to 4 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center of the bread pudding comes out clean. Begin checking the pudding after 3 hours, and continue to cook for increments of 10 to 15 minutes until the pudding is done.
step 4 While the bread pudding is cooking, make the yogurt sauce in a small bowl by whisking together the yogurt, sugar, apple juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Refrigerate until needed.
step 5 To serve, spoon the bread pudding onto plates and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.
chef's notes:
Firm, tart apples are best for this recipe because their flavor isn't overly sweet, and they hold their shape. Look for apple varieties that are good for baking, like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp and Jonathan.
If you prefer to prep the bread pudding in advance, you can assemble the ingredients through Step 2 and refrigerate in the covered slow-cooker insert for up to a day before cooking. Take the pudding out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it up to room temperature. Then remove the lid and sprinkle the mixture with 1/2 cup of water before replacing the lid on the insert and turning on the slow cooker.
