Chia seeds are all the rage lately and for good reason. They pack an incredible nutritious punch for their small size. The nutrients in chia can help you manage your blood sugar, promote heart health and and support strong bones. Chia contains fiber, protein, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids as well as various micronutrients such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, vitamins B1 and B3 and phosphorous. Since they have a neutral taste you can add them to almost anything and use them in a variety of ways. My favorite ways to incorporate chia into my diet is by adding them to my protein shakes, making homemade jam or making this delicious chia seed pudding.
Perhaps my favorite thing about this recipe is that it's so versatile. It can be eaten as a quick breakfast when paired with some extra protein or a delicious snack.
4 Tbs. Chia Seeds
2 Cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbs. Pure Maple Syrup
A Sprinkle of cinnamon
Favorite fruit for toppings
1 Cup oatmeal
2 Tbs. ground flax seeds
Mix dry ingredients first to prevent chia from sticking then add in milk. Combine all ingredients, except for fruit, in a bowl and stir well to fully incorporate all ingredients. Refrigerate one to two hours and stir again. Cover and refrigerate 2 more hours or overnight. Add fruit to top prior to serving and Enjoy!
