Blueberry Chia Breakfast Pudding

Looking for a slightly sweet and refreshing way to start your day?  This breakfast is not only nutrient-rich but it will provide you with the energy you need to get through your morning. If you’ve never tried chia seeds, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by their unique texture.

Never heard of chia seeds? Chia is an edible seed produced from plants native to Mexico and Guatemala. It is an unprocessed grain with a mild, nutty flavor. Chia seeds have become increasingly more popular, and for good reason. They provide healthy doses of omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, calcium, and antioxidants and can easily be added to foods to help increase energy, aid digestion, and lower cholesterol.

I originally created this Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding topped with fresh blueberries for EatClean.com; this version offers slight variation.
