The tiny chia seed is a powerhouse of nutrients. It’s loaded with fiber, calcium, maganese, omega 3 fatty acids, protein, and various antioxidants. All of which offer benefits to our heart, brain, digestive, bone and oral health. No wonder it’s a superfood!

You can easily add the chia seed into your daily diet due to its tasteless nature.  I find it easiest to sprinkle on salads, add it to smoothies, or most favourably- chia pudding!

This recipe comes together easily and you can top it however you like.  Interchangeably chia pudding makes a great breakfast or dessert. And an added bonus, this recipe is vegan, raw, and gluten-free.

Chia Pudding (2 servings)

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 4 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract or maple syrup
• 1-2 tbsp of unsweetened coconut

2. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours or leave overnight
