Chia seeds are a powerful super-food with healthy omega fats and energy boosting properties. They are packed with fiber and protein to keep you feeling full. Perfect for before or after a workout to boost your energy. Plus, cinnamon has been shown to help balance blood sugar and reduce cravings for sweets. So this is a great recipe to have handy when those sweet cravings hit and you want to make a healthy choice. 

This is just 1 of over 30 clean, low-carb and naturally sugar-free recipes in our new eBook, 10 Day Sugar Detox. This 10 day clean eating plan will help you decrease the amount of sugar in your diet, boost your metabolism, and even help you lose weight. Most recipes can be make in 30-45 minutes and the eBook includes a weekly "make-ahead" preparation plan as well as grocery shopping lists to help save you time and stress!

Cinnamon-Spiced Chia Pudding (PRINT RECIPE)
(Makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
5-10 drops liquid stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons chia seeds

Optional Toppings:
¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
¼ cup raw walnuts, chopped
Fresh berries**

Directions:
  1. Combine milk, stevia, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger in a small bowl and whisk vigorously until well combined and smooth.
  2. Place chia seeds in a bowl or large mason jar and pour almond milk mixture on top, then stir well.
  3. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute and stir again, then let it sit for 10 minutes and give it one more good stir.
  4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or seal mason jar with lid and place pudding in the fridge to set overnight or for at least 6 hours. 
  5. Stir in the morning and enjoy pudding by itself or with desired toppings. 

This keeps well in the fridge for about 3-5 days.  I like to make a batch at the beginning of the week and scoop out a snack when I’m craving something sweet!
 
**Adding berries will add more sugar to this meal and can increase your cravings for more sugar later in the day, so if you choose to add these, keep it to a small amount. Example: 2 strawberries, sliced or 6 blueberries.

Enjoy & let me know what you think,
Billie
