I was never a great breakfast eater. I would usually skip it all together and on days when I felt I needed to eat something I would get a bagel. Eventually I became so obsessed with eating an everything bagel with vegan butter and nooch that I was eating it a few times a week…or more if I’m honest. You can guess how great I felt after eating so many bagels a week. Not so great. I gave them up completely for a bit and had to find some new lighter and healthier breakfasts to eat. Its not to say I don’t eat bagels anymore. I just don’t eat multiple bagels a week. You gotta live and what would life be without the occasional bagel? 

On a quest to find new breakfasts I decided to try Chia Pudding. I tried store bought brands and wasn’t to impressed with them so I went about making the pudding myself. I tried a few different milk to chia seed ratio’s and finally found one I liked the best. I also like it best when I make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge for at least 10 hours. I like my chia seeds fully plump! 

After settling on a recipe I liked I couldn’t get enough of it. I add fresh fruit and chopped nuts just before serving to add extra texture and flavor. My favorite flavor combo is Mango Coconut and Almonds. It becomes a decadent breakfast that could also be a healthy dessert!
