It’s that time of year where I avoid “cooking” at all costs. The weather here in NYC has been in the 80’s and humid, so the last thing that’s on my mind is the warmth of a hot oven. These days, breakfasts have been refreshing and quick – smoothies, yogurt, granola, and the like. This chia pudding requires almost no effort & is light enough for even the hottest of days. Top with your favorite fruit, a bit of natural sweetener & even some chopped nuts or seeds. It fills you up without weighing you down (and also happens to be pretty damn tasty.) Happy Summer!

    It’s definitely been too hot to turn the oven on in these parts! This looks like such a healthy and refreshing breakfast.

    I’ve been dying to try a chia pudding for breakfast, and this looks like the perfect recipe… and I love a breakfast that can be totally prepped the night before!

    I have never been too interested in chia pudding because I don’t really like puddings that aren’t smooth (ie. tapioca), but this chia pudding is so beautiful I’m having second thoughts! Thanks for the great recipe.
