Hormonal Balance Chia Seed Pudding

This is the kind of breakfast that works for you while you sleep — stir it together before bed, and by morning it's thickened into a soft, spoonable pudding.

Chia seeds are a notably fiber-rich, plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, and a steady dose of both is often part of eating well through menopause and hormonal shifts. Almond milk keeps things light, and a small drizzle of maple syrup along with fresh berries on top rounds it into something that actually feels like a treat.

Make a batch of two or three jars at once so breakfast is ready without any extra thought. If the pudding seems too thick after chilling, stir in a splash more almond milk until it loosens to the consistency you like, and keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to three days.
