Chia Pudding
This chia pudding is easy, healthy and doesn’t require turning on a stove! It’s even better made the day before. The chia seed is one of the oldest forms of nutrition in Mexico, Guatemala and other Central American Countries, dating back to ancient Mayan and Aztec diets, where it is a known source of Omega-3, rich in calcium and a good source of dietary fiber.
This vegan recipe features chia, instant oats, vanilla, almond milk and either honey or agave as a sweetener. This liquid causes the chia seeds to swell and thicken in the refrigerator, until the mixture takes on the consistency of pudding (no heating is required). Top the Chia Pudding with fresh fruit and enjoy this healthy and delicious treat.
