Gingerbread Christmas Chia Pudding
A Christmas chia pudding is the perfect way to kick off the holidays. This make-ahead overnight chia seed pudding is made with non-dairy milk, prebiotic-rich chia seeds, and warming spiced gingerbread.
Chia seeds are an excellent source of prebiotics. Prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that feeds the good bacteria found in your gut, thus promoting a happy and healthy digestive system. BONUS! They also contain omega-3 fatty acids.
