Chia seeds are a diabetes superfood. They are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids—great for blood sugar management and heart health. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 cup light canned coconut milk
• 1 banana
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• Sliced banana, for topping
• Granola, for topping

Instructions:

Add all of the ingredients, except the chia seeds, to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

In a mixing bowl, combine the banana and milk mixture with the chia seeds. Whisk until well combined.

Pour the chia seed mixture into a storage container and place it in the refrigerator. After ten minutes, give it another stir to make sure everything is evenly combined.

Leave the chia pudding in the fridge overnight. In the morning give it a good stir and then top it with sliced bananas, your favorite granola, and even a little nut butter if that’s your thing. Enjoy!
