Easy Chia Pudding

Easy Chia Pudding

Behold the humble chia seed and its incredible nutrition for a small volume of 2 tablespoons. Protein: 4.7 g, fat 8.7 g (omega-3s included), calories: 138 (that's low) and 9.8 grams of fiber (that's high).

Do not overlook seeds when choosing foods. They're packed with incredible nutrition and they are inexpensive. Please get off that protein powder/bar/bite/supplement junk and get your protein from real food.

Here's an easy recipe with a Florida twist: mangoes. Gorgeous, high fiber mangos are in season right now (May through August) in our beautiful state so eat locally and more environmentally by choosing produce grown in our state.

The Ingredients:

2 tablespoons chia seeds

½ cup unsweetened dairy or plant-based milk like almond or cashew milk

1 tablespoon honey

Add-ins: chopped nuts, raisins, berries, flax seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger

The Method:

Place all ingredients except add-ins in a jar or bowl and mix well. Wait 2 – 3 minutes and mix again to remove lumps. Cover the jar or bowl and store in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. Top with your favorite add-ins and enjoy cold
