Chia seeds are a wonderful thing. Packed with high protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber, it's a fun alternative to a healthy meal. I wouldn't recommend it often, just because it's a little high in calories, but it's worth a try. You can make this coconut chia pudding breakfast recipe with milk, but since I'm lactose intolerant, I decided to try it with coconut milk instead. It adds a coconut flavor and texture to the pudding, and the cranberry and almonds add a nice, sweet, and nutty flavor as well. The touch of honey is terrific and can be added the next day if you want.

My kind of recipe, one anyone can make. I will certainly be giving this one a try once I'm over the flu - Ugh!
