🌿 Mindful Morsel

Chia seeds are tiny nutritional powerhouses, packed with fiber, antioxidants, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients help support digestive health, reduce inflammation, and promote heart health. Combined with banana for natural sweetness and cinnamon for added antioxidants, this pudding becomes a simple yet nourishing way to start the day.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

  • ½ cup milk (almond, oat, dairy, or your preferred milk)

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

  • 1 small banana (or ½ large banana)

  • 4 tbsp Vital Proteins collagen (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Mix: Add chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, collagen, and cinnamon to a small jar or bowl. Stir well to combine.

  2. Rest & Stir: Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.

  3. Chill: Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding.

  5. Serve: Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl for a cozy, nourishing breakfast.

Tips/Notes

  • Stirring the mixture twice before refrigerating helps prevent clumping.

  • Add toppings like granola, berries, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes for extra texture.

  • Swap maple syrup for date syrup or honey for different flavor profiles.

  • Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it great for meal prep.
