Berry Chia Pudding

One of my friends has been watching her calorie intake to try to lose some baby weight after having kids. She’s been eating cottage cheese with fruit as a snack between meals, but totally getting bored of the monotony. So she asked me for any ideas of similar types of snacks she could eat. With a little too much excitement (I’m pretty sure I scared her) I bellowed CHIA PUDDING! And this Berry Chia Pudding came to mind!

The simple way to make it is mixing 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for every 1/2 cup of milk of choice. That’s really ALL you need. That’s how I made this other chia pudding I featured previously with a touch of honey.

This Berry Chia Pudding is the same idea, but I blended berries with the top and bottom layers for something more delightful to enjoy with your eyes as much as your taste buds. Plus these are wonderful for entertaining because they’re easy to make ahead of time and just look so pretty!

Best part is you can enjoy this Berry Chia Pudding whether you’re on a diet that’s dairy-free, gluten-free, low-calorie, low-sugar, vegan or whatever. It’s all in the pudding baby.

Please note that I divided the recipe into two cups in the images so the serving sizes in the images are just a tad exaggerated for the picture effect. I suggest you divide this recipe into 4 or 6 parts though.
