Easy Chia Pudding

This is a great option for those busy mornings, when you have to rush out the door and don't have time to make breakfast. You can make it the night before and have a grab and go option in the morning.

Lately, I've been sticking to plain vanilla and adding fruit and nuts depending on what I have around the house. But you can customize it by adding raw cacao, cinnamon, dried fruit, seeds and nuts.  

For those of you wondering what the heck chia seeds are, they are a tiny seed known to be an excellent source of omega fatty acids, an easily digestible form of protein, excellent vegetarian source of omega fatty acids and are full of minerals, vitamins and soluble fiber.

Ingredients 

• 1 can full fat coconut milk (I like this brand)
• 1/2 cup almond milk 
• 2-3 tablespoons of chia seeds (add more or less depending on how thick you like your pudding, the more seeds you add the thicker it will be)
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons honey (for vegan option use maple syrup)

Topping ideas

• Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced mango
• Granola
• Toasted coconut 

Directions

In a medium bowl whisk the coconut milk, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup.
Whisk it so that all the ingredients are incorporated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed. 
Transfer to a glass container or fill three or four smaller containers. Let sit in the fridge overnight. 
Top with strawberries and granola for quick and delicious breakfast.
