Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds, are loaded with omega fatty acids, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. Even better, when introduced to a liquid they absorb it and transform into a gel-like consistency. This is perfect for adding to recipes as a thickener or egg-substitute (pancakes!).

They also make a great base for a simple two ingredient pudding.

 
Ingredients:

3-4 tbsp Chia seeds

8 oz unsweetened almond milk/coconut milk

Optional toppings:
Vanilla extract, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa powder, coconut flakes, graham cracker crumbles, granola, fresh fruit, etc…


Directions:

Combine the chia seeds and room temperature almond milk into a bowl. Let it sit at room temperature for approximately 30 – 60 minutes. Mix every 5 – 10 minutes to break up clumps. Once pudding is at the desired consistency, mix in any option items you want and enjoy!
