Chai Seed Pudding

Ingredients:

• 4 level tablespoons of chia seeds 
• 1 cup of milk (your choice of rice milk, cow milk, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk) 
• Approx 1/2 cup of sugar free coconut yoghurt 
• Chopped fruit of your choice (I used blueberries and banana)
• Nuts and seeds of your choice (your choice of pepitas, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, brazil 
• Ground cinnamon - approx 1/2 teaspoon 
• My hubby likes a swirl of honey on top (up to you) 

Method:

• Place chia seeds in a container with lid and add milk of your choice, stir, then leave over night in fridge. Do this when you are making dinner. You can make a big batch and leave in the fridge for several days, taking out only what you need for that day. 
• The chia seeds absorb the liquid and the mixture becomes gooey. Sometimes it needs an extra stir especially if you are making a large batch. 
• Place soaked chia seed mixture into a bowl, add your yoghurt, fruit, nuts and seeds, cinnamon, honey and enjoy! 

 Note: Chia seeds are low GI, a good source of bioavailable calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, iron, Vit C, antioxidants, phosphorous, fibre, protein and they are gluten free. Cinnamon is also great for balancing blood sugar levels.
