Chef's Corner: Dreamy Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack that is made with chia seeds, milk, and sweetener. The chia seeds absorb the milk, creating a creamy and pudding-like texture. Chia seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a healthy choice for breakfast.

This recipe is for a basic chia pudding that can be customized to your liking. You can use any type of milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or dairy milk. You can also add different flavors of sweetener, such as maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar.

Once you have made the basic chia pudding, you can top it with your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds. Some popular toppings include berries, bananas, granola, and nuts.

Chia pudding is a versatile and easy-to-make breakfast or snack that is perfect for busy mornings!
