Triple berry chia seed pudding

Triple berry chia seed pudding

It’s been really hot here on the West Coast, too hot to turn on the oven and make my baked oats. I like to start my mornings off with a hearty and healthy breakfast to keep me full all morning long.

This triple berry chia seed pudding is easy to make, healthy and most importantly tastes delicious.
