Chia Benefits & Recipe for Chia Pudding Parfait

[ashleypoptodorova]

I love love love chia seeds! There are so many awesome benefits to this amazing superfood! I add it to my smoothies, mix it with water or yogurt and use it as a nice topping.
The benefits of chia include:
High stores of calcium
Phosphorous
Manganese
Niacin (a B Vitamin known to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels, prevent nervous system disorder & increase GABA activity in the brain helping to reduce anxiety!)

I will be doing more posts on the Members only blog regarding my favorite Superfoods!
For now, here is an awesome Chia Pudding Parfait recipe that I modified to be even healthier.. nom nom 🙂

CHIA PUDDING PARFAIT

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chia seeds
1 cup almond or coconut milk
Stevia to sweeten (use sparingly until you find your desired amount!)
1/2 tsp. organic vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. himalayan salt
Fresh strawberries to top

Optional Toppings:

1/3 cup chia seeds
1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond or Coconut Milk
1/2 tsp. organic vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. himalayan salt
Fresh berries

Procedure:

Measure out the chia seeds, almond milk, extracts, and honey, mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or even overnight so the chia seeds absorb the moisture and become thick and gelatinous, like a pudding.
Spoon into a glass or parfait cup.
Add all your favorite toppings. That’s it! Enjoy!
