vegan vanilla chia seed pudding

I am a huge fan of tapioca pudding which has a similar consistency to chia seed pudding, however, chia seeds have so many more health benefits compared to tapioca! Chia seeds are a super food packed with antioxidants, fiber, protein, and omega-3s. I put them in my smoothies, salads, baked goods, and have now just used them in a pudding. 

Recipe~~~

-2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk 

- 1/4 cup chia seeds

- 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 

-2 tablespoons maple syrup 

-pinch of salt 

(if you want a thicker pudding, use one cup of greek yogurt and one cup of almond milk instead of two cups of almond milk) 

In a bowl, mix together the ingredients until they aren't separated. Cover and refrigerate over night. the next day, spoon out a serving and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or chocolate. Enjoy!
