A few months ago and interesting article came across my desk. It was all about the benefits of chia. I then went to Pinterest and searched recipes.
I found tons of recipes but the one that stood out was chai pudding. I'm not sure if it was all the fresh fruit dressing it up or the sweet mason jars but I had to try it.
Most of the recipes I tried were quite sweet and although I love a great dessert, that's not what I wanted first thing in the morning.
So here is my recipe - not sweet but perfect thing to whip up at night and eat in the morning after a run or some yoga (or just getting the kids to school).
Chia Pudding Recipe
2c unsweetened coconut (or almond) milk
1/2c chia seeds
1 Tbsp B Grade Maple syrup
1 tsp almond extract (or vanilla)
a pinch of cinnamon
Blueberries/raspberries/or any fruit
Stir everything together (except fruit) and place in fridge overnight ..
(makes 3 of these mason jar servings)
In the morning.. Open the jar and top w fruit.
My girls and I eat it every morning .. sometimes in their lunch too…
