Chia Seed Pudding

CH-CH-CH-CHIA!
Not pet- PUDDING!
Every time I hear the word chia, I automatically think chia pet rather than chia seeds, the superfood. But to your disappointment this is a healthier pudding recipe rather than making something outrageous and green from chia pets. Chia seeds have many health benefits. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids as well as boost fiber, protein, calcium, and antioxidant levels. The very cool thing about chia seeds is their transformable ability to create a gel-like texture when added to water or liquid. (A side note- chia seeds can absorb liquid well, leading to this fun fact. Chia seeds can help with bloating or a hangover, so take note college kiddies!) Honestly this recipe was a bit of oh lets throw all these nice things in a bowl and see what happens. From chia seeds transforming their texture like magic and like chia pets growing hair- this recipe goes in that category of awesomeness.

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1 13.5 oz can of lite coconut mil
1/3 cup of chia seeds
2 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

Combine all of the ingredients and place them into a medium sized bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and press the wrap on top of the mix creating a seal.
Place the mixture into the fridge for at least 5 hours to allow the pudding to thicken.

Once thickened- enjoy, indulge, repeat.
