Vanilla Chia Pudding

My latest obsession with the Mayan Chia superseed continues. Chia means endurance and this tiny little seed is a nutritional powerhouse. Incorporate these seeds in liquid (see below) and they begin to gel and soften, providing an excellent slow-moving fiber and protein, which helps you feel full longer and reduces appetite. Now you can enjoy these ancient seeds as a delicious dessert any time – and this recipe only takes about 20 minutes to make! A serious hit in my house.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Coconut or almond milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 pinch Sea salt
  • Couple dashes of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cups Chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Heat the milk over medium in a small saucepan.
  • Whisk in the vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon and sea salt.
  • Once the milk is almost to a simmer, whisk in the chia seeds.
  • Remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes, or until the mixture gels up to a tapioca consistency.
  • Serve warm, at room temperature, or cool in the refrigerator.
