Chia Seed Pudding with Mango Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
On Ozempic or Mounjaro, cold creamy textures are often better tolerated when nausea is present — chia pudding is gentle, requires no cooking, and can be made the night before. Each serving delivers 10g of fiber and 6g of protein from chia seeds alone, amplifying GLP-1 satiety. Avoid processed pudding cups, sweetened yogurt parfaits with artificial flavors, and fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts packed with added sugar. This real-food pudding supports your medication naturally.
