Chia seeds originate from the Salvia hispanica plant, which is native to Central America. Historically, these tiny seeds were a staple food for the Aztecs and Mayans, known for their energy-boosting properties. Today, chia seeds have gained global recognition as a superfood, primarily due to their impressive nutritional profile. Just a single ounce (about two tablespoons) of chia seeds provides a wealth of nutrients, including approximately 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is essential for heart health.

Ingredients
  

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well blended.

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another good stir to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.

      Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like texture.

        Once the chia pudding has set, stir it again to ensure a smooth consistency.

          To serve, spoon the pudding into individual bowls or jars. Top with the diced strawberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

            Enjoy immediately or keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days for a healthy snack or breakfast!
