Chia is the new flax! Chia seeds have 11g of fiber and 4g of protein per ounce. So this year, I am going to try and include more of them in my diet.

Here is a recipe I found from Raw Foods Witch and it seems like an easy way to start eating chia seeds.

Chia seeds are fairly tasteless and can be added to tons of different meals including salad dressings, smoothies, and breakfasts. My favorite is pudding!

Tapioca pudding is great, but have you ever heard of chiapioca pudding? It’s a delicious raw pudding made from chia seeds.

Ingredients

• 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
• 1 1/2 Cups Nut Milk of Choice (I like Almond Milk)
• Dash of vanilla
• Raw honey or stevia to sweeten
• Decorate with Kiwi slice (optional)

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients in a mason jar or other glass container.
2. Shake well to ensure Chia seeds are submerged in the nut milk.
3. Store in refrigerator overnight. The Chia seeds will soak up the water and become chewy just like tapioca.
4. Serve in a tall glass with a straw and slurp up! Or, serve in individual bowls with a spoon and enjoy your energetic feast.

This recipe will store in the fridge for a few days, so feel free to make a big batch and eat a little each day.
