Chia pudding has been around for ages now but I know some of you still haven't hopped onto the chia pudding bandwagon. It's seriously so tasty because it's a blank slate for whatever flavor cravings you may be having that day. Each season I edit my chia recipe to include whatever is most fresh at the market! AND right now the figs are gorgeous. It's such a great flavor combo with the chocolate.

How to Make Chia Pudding

Add 2 tablespoon of chia seeds ( I get mine at Trader Joe's) to a jar or bowl and top with ½ cup almond milk (any milk will work).
Stir well with a whisk and place in the fridge.
Let sit in the fridge for a few hours. If I think about it sometimes I'll go in and give it a stir but not necessary.
When you are ready you can stir and add in any mix-ins like pure maple syrup, cocoa powder or vanilla extract.
Top with goodies galore and you are good to go.
