Chocolate and chia pudding

A nutritious snack, vegetarian, paleo and gluten free. The chia seed is rich in fiber, protein, omega-3, calcium, phosphorus and manganese.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chocolate almond milk (I like the Silk True Almond)
• 3 tablespoons of chia seeds

Directions:

1. Sprinkle chia seeds in a bowl with the almond milk and stir to prevent the seeds clump.
2. Leave chia seeds absorb the liquid for about 40 minutes, or until the pudding is the consistency of tapioca. Stir occasionally as needed.
3. Cover, refrigerate and serve.
4. For a smooth texture, refrigerate for about 8 hours, then blend with a high-powered blender like the Vitamix. Garnish with coconut or dark chocolate chips.
