Chia seeds are a new "fad food" but despite the fad, I find them a super convenient and filling food! Here is a recipe for Chia Seed Pudding you can make and use for breakfast! They are super high in fiber, but have significant amounts of protein and fat to fill you up.
Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan but do NOT bring to a boil or let bubble, stirring frequently until small streaks of steam begin to come off of milk. Once heated, refrigerate for a few hours where it will firm up, and it is ready to serve! Add some blueberries or blackberries if you want to add a tad bit of sweetness to it.
I've never heated mine before, but I might have to try it like this!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it unheated too- I should try! Maybe it turns out a bit thicker when you don't heat it. They are weird little seeds right? So versatile but strange...
