Am I the only one that got a little out of control during the holiday season? Cookies, champagne, cookies, fattening side dishes, cookies, fattening main dishes, cookies, cookies, cookies.

I know it’s a little cliché that everyone starts eating healthy foods again as soon as January rolls around.  And yes, absolutely, we should be eating like that year-round. But I for one am happy to have a little motivation and reminder to get my butt back on track…and hopefully that same butt that is getting back on track will also firm up and decrease in size as a bonus.

And yes, you’ll be seeing more healthy recipes than cookies here – at least this month. But truthfully, that’s pretty indicative of both this site as well as the way we eat. Because, after all, we do eat the food I make. And the sweets usually get sent off to work with Ben so that I don’t eat all of them.

Enter chia pudding. Weird stuff, I know. Honestly, I almost didn’t blog this. But then my family members tried it and they actually really loved it. All three of them. Which pretty much never happens.

I love the flavors of this chia pudding recipe – sweetened with maple and flavored with warm spicy cinnamon, this is the perfect little treat for the time of winter that just drags on and on and on.

I made this with skim milk, but you could definitely do this with other types of milk – whole milk would make for a slightly more decadent treat.

Enjoy!

    This is so so good. I added 1/4 tsp cardamon and some fresh grated nutmeg in as well. I’ve done both the normal cold version and cooked it over the stove for a warm fall treat. I have even cooked bananas with maple syrup and butter/coconut oil for bananas foster version. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.

    My daughters and I love chia seed pudding – we are partial to our chocolate peanut butter chia seed pudding. This looks and sounds wonderful so I just whipped up a double batch for breakfast in the morning. The sample taste was wonderful. Can’t wait!

      I don’t calculate the nutritional value of my recipes (due to the variations in ingredients, etc) but there are some great online calculators! It would really depend on what type of milk was used.

    Does it have a texture like tapioca? I’m ashamed to say I’ve never tried it, I might have to hand back my gluten free card!

    Do you think I can get chia seeds at Meijer? I’d like to try this. I love pudding but feel guilty eating it. This would be good for breakfast.

    I am pretty sure that I win the worst healthy food blogger award because I STILL haven’t tried chia pudding, even though it’s all the rage. However, my Canadian heart loves the maple here, so I obvi need to try it! Pinned!
