Jake and I love creating these memories for our boys. It makes their eight-week summers seem a little less short!

Warrior Pudding
Chia puddings are a great, make-ahead breakfast. And I love that they are so versatile.
Why is it called 'warrior pudding'? Because, as my bag of organic whole chia seeds - tagline "Aztec Superfood" - explains: "The chia seed was eaten by Aztec for strength and was a main staple food along with corn and beans."
- 1/2 C chia seeds
- 2 C milk
- 1 T raw turbinado sugar
- ground cinnamon
- ground cardamom
- ground nutmeg
- ground ginger
Procedure
Place all of the ingredients and let it soak overnight. Serve as you would oatmeal - with fresh berries or bananas. I topped mine with diced fresh strawberries and raw sliced almonds.
What kid wouldn't want pudding for breakfast!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great summer you are having. Love the photos of the mountains. This warrior pudding looks great. I think anything that can be put in a pot and is ready the next day is great!
