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.
