20 Reasons to Add Chia to Your Diet

FOR THE PUDDING -
2 TBS chia seeds
1 cup milk of choice (I used almond)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
Optional - fruits or nuts for topping (I used raspberries)

Place all of the ingredients, except for the optional toppings, inside a jar and mix well. Put in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
