Vanilla Chia Pudding

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Chia pudding is by far one of my favorite quick and easy breakfast options. I think it has to do something with preparing it the night before and in the morning it’s just waiting there for me to devour. A simple breakfast pudding that resembles the consistency of tapioca and it just happens to be delicious. 

Chia seeds are the richest plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for keeping your heart healthy. On top of that, they provide protein, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and minerals including calcium- up to three times more than a serving of milk. Superfood? Perhaps.



All you have to do is mix your chia seeds in a bowl with milk, a sweetner of your choice, stir well, pop in the fridge, and let it sit overnight. It's that simple. I think the hardest part is waiting for it to chill and set, don't you think?


Vanilla Chia Pudding

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
  • Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix until blended. Stir to distribute seeds if they have settled.
  • Let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove from the fridge, and make sure your pudding looks thick and the chia seeds have gelled. 
  • Top with fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, etc.
