Chia pudding makes for a great wholesome breakfast on the go, or a well balanced snack to get you through the day. Easy to customize to your preference by adding in your favorite fruits, chopped nuts, granola, etc. Meal prep a batch over the weekend and enjoy throughout the week.
Chia seeds pack a nutrient punch and can be added to your diet in so many ways - from making a pudding to stirring them into smoothies, salad dressings, baked goods, granola or protein bars, and many more.
A quarter cup of chia seeds contains the same amount of protein as an egg, 320% of your omega 3 needs for the day, 55% of your fiber needs, and provides important vitamins and minerals like magnesium, selenium and B-vitamins.

2 cup vanilla soy milk (or milk of choice)
2 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chia seeds

Tools You Will Need

Instructions
In a quart sized mason jar or container, add the soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine. Alternatively, you can add all of the ingredients (except chia seeds) into a blender and blend on low to mix all of the ingredient.
Next, mix in the chia seeds and stir (or blend on low) until evenly dispersed (if using a blender, transfer the mixture to another container after this step).
Wait for the chia pudding to thicken for two minutes. Stir again to evenly distribute the chia seeds. Repeat 1-2 more times.
Cover with lid and place in the fridge for it to thicken for a minimum 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve chilled with your favorite toppings including fresh fruit, chopped nuts, yogurt, etc. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
