Almond Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds have been getting a ton of attention due to their high fiber content and health benefits. This recipe adds in extra protein by using a high protein almond milk. Add in extra fiber by topping the pudding with raspberries (up to 8 grams of fiber per cup). Mix in some blueberries and get some extra antioxidants. This recipe is so easy to make and truly a delicious addition to a healthy meal plan. Give it a try.

Notes
The nutritional data calculated is estimated values. For example, the almond milk is not a high protein almond milk. Reference your manufacturer container for actual nutritional information. In addition, the toppings and quantity you use will vary as well. I typically create two servings (aka. 1/2 cup serving x 2) from this recipe.
In addition, if berries are not in season or difficult to find, you can always substitute with frozen berries. If using frozen berries, you can always puree the berries and add a layer of pureed fruit to your chia seed pudding.
