Notes

This chia pudding is a nice option for breakfast during summer, when warm porridge is less appealing. Soaked chia turns into jelly like consistency, which is helpful for soothing irritation in the mucosal lining of the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
Chia is considered a super food, supplying rich nourishment for depleted and dry Vata's or depleted and inflamed Pitta's.
Add ingredients to the basic recipe according to your specific needs:
Vata's: pecan, cinnamon, maple syrup. Eat at room temperature.
Pitta's: almonds, shredded coconut, sliced banana, date syrup, cardamom. Eat slightly chilled.
