How to Make Banana Nut Chia Pudding

Mix the Base. In a quart jar (or similar container), combine the milk and chia seeds. Shake well.
1 Cup Milk, 8 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
Over the next 15 minutes, shake the jar every few minutes. This helps prevent clumping and keeps the seeds evenly distributed.
Infuse and Chill. Add the cinnamon sticks and vanilla extract. Then place the jar in the refrigerator overnight.
2 Cinnamon Sticks, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
By morning, the mixture will be thick and pudding-like with a subtle cinnamon flavor.
Assemble a Serving. Scoop about ½ cup (¼ of the mixture) into a bowl. Add ⅓ cup Greek yogurt and stir until creamy.
1 1/3 Cups Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Top with sliced banana, ground nuts, dash of nutmeg, drizzle of maple syrup.
1 Dash Nutmeg, 1 Tablespoon Almonds, 1 Banana, 1/2-1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
Serve and enjoy.
