Chia Pudding

Finally a breakfast entry!! My family and I love this very easy, make ahead breakfast.  On busy weekday mornings it is so nice to roll downstairs, open the refrigerator and have a healthy, clean and nutrient packed meal ready and waiting.  Make it to suit your personal taste with fresh fruit, berries and nuts on top.

1/4 c Chia Seeds
1 c nonfat milk (I use dairy, you can substitute your choice)
1 c nonfat greek yogurt
1 Tbs maple syrup

Whisk together the milk, yogurt and maple syrup.  Whisk in the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, stir the pudding and place into individual serving bowls.  Top with your choice of fresh or thawed frozen fruit, nuts, seeds etc.  I like to add just a touch of honey or maple syrup drizzled over the top.

This recipe makes 3-4 servings.
