Vanilla Chia Pudding

A make-ahead pudding where chia seeds thicken into a creamy, protein-rich treat.

Chia seeds swell and set as they soak, turning a simple mix of milk and vanilla into a thick, tapioca-like pudding. It is naturally rich in fiber and plant omega-3s, and it sets itself in the fridge while you sleep.
