Chia pudding is very quick and easy to make the night before. In the morning you can just grab it right out of the fridge and go.
Benefits of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium and fiber. I try to eat them a few times a week mainly for the magnesium benefits. Most people are deficient in magnesium. Magnesium can help ease women's PMS symptoms (reduces cramping). Chia is a great way to add some magnesium to your diet.
Overnight Cinnamon Chia Pudding
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp Raw Honey
- 1/2 cup Coconut Milk (feel free to substitute almond milk)
- Dash of Vanilla
Directions:
Pour milk into jar. Mix in chia seeds and milk until they are distributed evenly.
Add cinnamon, honey and vanilla and mix well. Cover jar and place in the fridge overnight.
The outer layer of the seeds will form a gel when mixed with liquid. This will create a thick consistency similar to pudding. In the morning open the jar and mix.
I like to add fruit right before eating.

Note about jars:
I use Weck jars. They are inexpensive and have an air tight seal. Crate and Barrel sells all different sizes.
