Chia Seed Pudding<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Recipe adapted from loveandlemons
\n<\/em>Yield: Approximately 2 cups\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 1\/4 cup chia seeds<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk, such as soy)<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener like honey or sugar, adjust sweetness to taste)<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • Fresh fruit for topping (such as berries, sliced bananas, or mango)<\/li>\n
  • Optional toppings: nuts, coconut flakes, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. In a mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.<\/li>\n
    2. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell up, forming a pudding-like consistency.<\/li>\n
    3. Once set, stir the pudding again to break up any clumps. Scoop into serving bowls or cups.<\/li>\n
    4. Top with your choice of fresh fruits just before serving. Based on your preference, add nuts, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                • Chia seeds are a great source of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. Protein helps with muscle repair and creating an energy-lasting snack or dessert. Carbohydrates provide quick energy. Fiber helps with digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness.<\/li>\n
                • Chia Seeds are also rich in calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. Calcium is needed for muscle and nerve activity, blood clotting, teeth, and bones. Phosphorus is a component of bones, teeth, and substances involved in energy formation. Potassium is needed for the activation of muscles and nerves, and the maintenance of water balance in body tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
