Healthy Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seed pudding is my new obsession. A dessert that's sweet, delicious and actually truly good for you! And it's so easy to make. Chia seeds are an amazing sources of omega 3's as well as fiber. Combine that with a cup of Greek yogurt and you have a low calorie, high protein and filling dessert!
Here's what you need:


1/4 cup of chia seeds
1 cup of almond or soy milk
1 cup of vanilla greek yogurt
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
A little bit of cinnamon (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
Now for my favorite part...the toppings. You can put just about anything you  want on top of the pudding. My personal favorite is blueberries and shredded coconut. Mango, some fat free whip cream and chopped nuts is also fantastic. Get creative with the toppings and enjoy!
