Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

I've been eating chia pudding non-stop lately.  I love chia seeds for its versatility and high nutrient profile that sustains me for a good period of time during the day.  This power seed was originally consumed by Aztec warriors, who used it as their fuel source for long expeditions. I've been making a batch of blueberry coconut chia seed pudding the past couple weeks so i have on hand for quick breakfasts and snacks when  i come home from work.  It fills me up and is SO easy to make.  Also, the vitamins and minerals from blueberries aid in digestion, and can also help brain function.

Here are a few facts about this wonder seed. Chia is:

- Rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids
- A complete source of dietary protein, providing all essential amino acids.
- High in calcium, enzymes, and minerals.
- Absorbs more than 9 times its volume in water, which means that a small amount keeps a person feeling full and satisfied for a long time.
- Super high fiber content acts as an intestinal broom (you know what that means! wink wink;)
- Easily digested and absorbed for energy.
- Contains no taste = it takes on any flavors that are added to it.
- Doesn't go rancid and can easily be stored.

This simple and easy chia seed pudding is full of blueberries, and not much else. Try it out for a delicious and healthy breakfast.

*You can experiment with the amount of water you use.  For a more dense consistency, add less water. Also, I add Maca powder which is an amazing root from Peru that helps increase strength, energy, stamina, libido and sexual function. A winning combination!  I was also surprised that when i started making this - i was getting so many other ideas of different flavors i could make - Raw Chocolate/Almond Butter, Plum/Coconut, Ginger/Coconut etc...  Experiment, have fun and let me know how it goes ;)
