Chia seeds are a fantastic source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. You can sprinkle them on your food, or, let them soak overnight so they are the consistency of tapioca balls. My favorite Way to make chia is to put them in overnight oats and soak them overnight! This recipe is incredibly simple and takes moments to prepare.

Servings: 6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 6 hours in fridge

Ingredients

2/3 Cup regular rolled oats (not instant)
2 1/2 Tablespoons chia seeds*
2 Cups almond milk
2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
2 Bananas, mashed

After mashing the bananas, mix all ingredients together and place in a container that will allow the mixture to grow to three times the size. Put the mixture in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours. Take out in the morning, mix again, and enjoy. Chia and overnight oats are great alone, or paired with fruit, granola, dried berries, or drizzled with maple syrup (not quite as healthy).
