Extra Tasty Chia Pudding- that's right, Chia. As in Chia pet.

Ladies and Gents (and/or any permutation of the above), please allow me to introduce you to my new obsession: Chia Pudding. Easy to make, easy to impress, and high in omega 3's. What can't this pudding do?

Ingredients:

makes 2-3 servings

3/4 cup Chia Seeds

2 cups sugarless Almond Milk (Hemp Milk is good too)

1 tsp Vanilla extract

1 sprinkle Cinnamon

3 tsp shredded Coconut

Agave to taste (around 1 -3 tbs)

1 dash salt

Some extra yummies to add:

dried blueberries

goji berries

cashews

macadamia nuts

cocoa nibs

Directions:

Add all ingredients together and mix. If you choose to add the extra yummies, add as much as you like. Chia seeds will absorb liquid and turn mixture into a pudding like texture. Let sit for an hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure that chia does not clump together. Eat immediately, later that day, save for breakfast or take to a potluck (my preferred option).
