Simple chia pudding

Serves/Yield: 2

Not only does the delicious chia pudding offer plenty of health benefits, but it comes together with incredible ease and makes for a convenient snack.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup white chia seeds
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a pint jar. Cover the jar with a lid and give it a vigorous shake.
2. Chill for about an hour, then return to the jar and shake it up. Let chill for at least 4 hours and overnight is even better.
3. Chia seeds will expand and turn into pudding the consistency of applesauce (it won't get really thick).
4. Serve cold with sliced fruit or toasted nuts on top.

Notes

I find that maple syrup dissolves much easier than honey into the milk, but you can substitute the maple with runny honey or agave and get the same great taste.
