Chia Pudding
Chia seeds are a fiber-heavy ingredient that improves heart health, digestion, and reduces cholesterol. They’re also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that lessen inflammation and may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, and more. So what better way to enjoy these healthy and delicious seeds than in a bowl of chia pudding, which is far better for you than the sugar-packed single-serve puddings you’d find at the supermarket?
Mix four tablespoons of white or black chia seeds with a cup of almond or coconut milk. Then add maple syrup, vanilla extract, or another sweetener. Let the mixture sit for five minutes, and then stir one final time to break up any clumps of chia seeds, before letting the bowl sit in the fridge for an hour or two. This is great to do right before you start cooking dinner, as it’ll be ready after you finish your entree. Finally, remove the pudding and enjoy it as a post-dinner delight.
