Chia Seed Pudding for a Light, Filling Snack

Chia pudding needs patience more than effort — whisk chia seeds into almond milk with a low-carb sweetener and vanilla, then let the fridge do the rest of the work over several hours. A wide-mouth jar makes the soaking and stirring easier than a narrow glass.

As the seeds soak, they swell and thicken the almond milk into something closer to pudding than a drink, packing in a good amount of fiber along the way. Because it's built on almond milk and chia rather than dairy or added sugar, it makes a light, filling snack that fits well within a weight-loss-focused routine.

Stir before serving and top with fresh berries or a few nuts if you'd like some crunch. and add a splash more almond milk if it thickens more than you'd like.
