Introduction

Chia seeds are so much more than that joke–y pet thing–y that gets re–gifted at the office holiday grab-bag. (You know who you are, re-gifters.) These tiny mighty–mites are packed with protein, omega–3 fatty acids and fiber, plus they make a crazy delicious no-cook pudding and that's no joke. The chia seeds swell and absorb the milk, expanding to twice or more their size. If almond milk isn't your thing, there are lots of others to choose from. Soy, coconut, hemp, oat, rice or even cow's milk all work, though you may need to adjust the sweetness level depending upon the amount of sugar each contains. Just combine all the ingredients in a jar, shake, chill overnight and in the morning you have a creamy rice pudding–like breakfast. Serve it with fresh berries, crunchy granola and chopped almonds for total deliciousness! Chia seeds are so much more than that joke–y pet thing–y that gets re–gifted at the office holiday grab-bag.
