SUPERFOODS: CHIA-SEED PUDDING

Can you think of a sweeter way to get your excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, fiber, iron, and calcium.

Neither can I.

I usually enjoy chia seeds in yogurt, until my daughter prepared this delicious pudding for me. Yummy, creamy, thick chia pudding that's so nutritious and easy to make! Just 4 ingredients required for this tasty breakfast, snack, or dessert!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups coconut milk - use full fat coconut and cashew for a creamier, thicker pudding

1/2 cup chia seeds

1-2 Tbsp maple syrup {more or less}

1 tsp vanilla extract

OPTIONAL MIX-INS

Compote, Nutella, Honey, Mint, Fresh Fruit, Nut butter, Cinnamon, Chocolate syrup or chips, Granola, Coconut shavings, Sliced Almonds

INSTRUCTIONS 

~To a mixing bowl add milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (to taste), and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

~Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so.

~Enjoy as is, or layer with optional mix-ins

Will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
