Recipe: Overnight Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
You might think this easy recipe is more fitting for dessert than breakfast, but when it’s this nutritious, it’s a great way to start your day. Prep the three-ingredient recipe the night before and you’ll be all set to go for the morning. The chia seeds will thicken the whole mixture into a pudding-like texture, plus, the base is so simple that you can add whatever mix-ins you’d like. I prefer fresh raspberries to put on top in the morning, but you can try anything from unsweetened coconut to granola.
