When life is this hectic, we turn to chia seeds for extra strength! Despite having an ancient history as a dietary staple, chia seeds have exploded in popularity in the past few years. Legend has it that the ancient Aztecs and Mayans used chia seeds as a source of energy. Chia seed pudding is an easy hack.

Total Time: 15 m I Prep: 15 m I Cook: 0 I Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 75gr chia seeds
- 500ml almond milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- Fruit of your choice for topping (we like any kind of berries)
Method:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and give it a good stir for about 2 minutes.
- Place in a storage jar with a lid and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Chia seeds start to absorb the liquid quickly but needs a bit more time to build that pudding like consistency.
- When ready to serve, stir well and spoon into a bowl. Chia seeds don’t have a flavor so the pudding will taste like whatever liquid you are using. Cinnamon will add some sweetness but careful not to overdo it.
