Chia Breakfast Pudding with Cinnamon and Almond Milk
Simple and delicious, chia pudding is a great way to enjoy plant based protein and start your day with a powerful and satisfying combination of nutrients. Chia seeds are the highest plant based source of Omega 3, fiber and protein. They are also loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Combine almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup in a mason jar.
- Add chia seeds and shake vigorously. You don’t want the seeds clumping together.
- Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Recipe Notes
I serve the chia pudding over berries and topped with toasted almonds or a healthy granola. Almonds provide a whopping 7.4 milligrams of vitamin E per 1oz serving and they are a great source of beneficial monounsaturated fat.
