Chia Seed Pudding

In a previous post from October I discussed the health benefits of chia seeds. They are a staple in our house and are often thrown into smoothies. I also love to make Chia Seed Pudding to have for breakfast. You do need to think ahead when making this recipe as it does need to sit in the fridge for several hours or over night before serving. This pudding is super easy and very filling. You can also top it with fresh fruit, chocolate chips, coconut or nuts. It's very versatile and a great way to start the day!

Recipe type: Breakfast

Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups coconut milk or almond milk
• ½ cup Chia Seeds
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (or less) maple syrup (or sub any sweetener)
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

1. For Blended/Smooth Version: Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
2. For Whole Chia Seed Version: Blend all ingredients except chia seeds in a blender until smooth (including any added flavors, fruits or chocolate). Whisk in chia seeds.
3. Pour mixture into a jar or glass container and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to let gel. I prefer to make this at night to have ready for a fast breakfast the next day. It is also great to make in the morning for a delicious pre-made dessert at night.
