Chia Pudding

One of my favorite sweet treats is tapioca pudding. Sadly, it is loaded with extra sugars and junk that I don't want or need! Not anymore.... This is so good you won't even miss tapioca pudding! And, it offers versatility to make it your own yummy, sweet, creation.

Still think chia is only for those creepy planters you used to get as gag gifts? Read more here:  http://gymjunkie-katie.blogspot.com/2011/08/discover-chia-seeds.html

Chia Pudding w/raisins and chocolate chips

Chia Pudding
serves 3-4

1 C non-dairy milk (I use almond)
1/3 C chia seeds
1/2 t vanilla
Possible add-ins:  raisins, dried fruit, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, walnuts... use your imagination!

Combine milk, chia seeds and vanilla in a container with a tight-fitting lid; I used a glass jar. Shake to combine. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Chia seeds will expand and absorb some of the milk, creating a pudding consistency. Stir and scoop some out into a small bowl and add treats as you wish! I have shown mine with raisins and some melted chocolate chips.
