When me and Jessica decided to embrace a cleaner diet we also decided to give new foods a try. One item we picked up was chia seeds (among other things they are full of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants). While you can easily add them to smoothies or oatmeal without noticing a difference I decided to make a dish were they are were really in the forefront. This chia seed pudding is incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious.

Easy Chia Pudding

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
6 tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
pinch of salt
4 tablespoons honey (more if needed)
berries and almonds for topping

Directions:
1. Mix together the coconut milk, chia seeds, almond extract, and salt.
2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir after 1 hour and after 2 hours to prevent clumping.
3. Stir in the honey before serving.
4. Top with your favorite berries/fruits and nuts. I chose sliced strawberries and roughly chopped nuts.
