I've been experimenting with adding new snack and breakfast items to my rotation. Things I can grab when I'm feeling hungry but have very little time. Things that will prevent me from dipping into a bag of chips or stopping at the coffee shop and grabbing a muffin. Chia pudding is a somewhat new-to-me concept, and while I admittedly don't love these for their decadent, indulgent flavor, I love them for their ease and health benefits. Chia seeds are packed with protein, Omega 3's and leave me feeling full and nourished, which is the true end goal when I'm craving a snack - something to fill a need so I don't keep craving junk. All this to say, if you make these, don't be surprised if you don't fall head over heels in love with them. They don't knock your socks off like a fantastic donut or leave you craving more like a bag of chips. But that's okay. There's a reason those other foods leave you wanting more, and there's a reason foods like these exist; to help keep us on track. If ever
