Vanilla and Honey Chia Pudding with Banana

This is one of the easiest desserts to whip up - and the good news is that its so healthy that you can eat it for breakfast!

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Rice milk (or other 'milk' of your choice - coconut milk is great too)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder (I use Vital Protein, it's made from peas)
- Honey to taste
- 1 banana, chopped
- Cinnamon and nutmeg, as desired


Put the chia seeds in a large bowl, and cover to about twice their depth with your milk. Stir, and allow to thicken for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the protein powder, and stir through. Sweeten with a little honey.  You may need more milk, as chia seeds suck up a lot of liquid.

If you want the cinnamon or nutmeg, add them and stir through.  Top with the chopped banana, then drizzle again with honey to taste.

Eat and enjoy!




A note on chia seeds - these are awesome - high in protein, high in calcium, iron, and other minerals.
