Wake up to a little magic in your morning. This creamy, dreamy chia pudding, courtesy of Blue Zones*, does all the work while you rest, so you can start your day with something delicious, nourishing and effortless. Packed with protein, fiber and omega-3s, chia seeds transform overnight into a rich, velvety treat. Top it off with fresh strawberries for a burst of sweetness and a boost of Vitamin C. Now that’s easy, tasty and totally worth waking up for.
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 cups fresh strawberries
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup and cinnamon.
- Pour liquid mixture over the chia seeds and stir until seeds are incorporated. Stir it well, so that none of the chia seeds stick together.
- Let sit for an hour or in the refrigerator overnight. Mixture will thicken substantially. Soaking time is vital.
- In the morning, rinse and slice fresh strawberries. Stir chia pudding and top with fresh strawberries.
Yield: Two servings
