A Good Morning

 Hi friends! While creating this recipe it reminded us how little time breakfast is sometimes given in the midst of hectic schedules. This bowl is beautiful but not always practical during the mid-week rush. Though a solid breakfast meal with combined complex and simple carbohydrates, protein, and fat is so important to get your day started right and to fuel you until the next meal or snack. For those days, this recipe can stay right in the jar it was made in overnight - add some toppings right in and take the jar with you on your morning commute. And with prep the night before, it doesn't get much easier than that. This breakfast is a balanced combination to keep up with your ever busy life. If you need a reminder about how great chia is before the recipe, check out this original TGBK post.

Chia and Pear Pudding
PREP TIME: 5 minutes 
TOTAL TIME: 4 hours 
Servings: 2 

Ingredients
6 oz fresh pear juice 
6 oz plain Greek or Icelandic yogurt 
4 Tbsp chia seeds 
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup 
1 sliced pear 
1/4 cup chopped raw unsalted cashews 
Cinnamon sprinkle on top

In two 10-12 oz mason jars, combine half of the ingredients in each - 3 oz pear juice, 3 oz yogurt, 2 Tbsp chia seeds,  and 1 Tbsp maple syrup. Screw on a tight fitting lid and shake vigorously until all ingredients are combined. Allow pudding to rest and gel up in the refrigerator for at least 4 hrs, or overnight. Once the pudding has set, add sliced pears, chopped cashews, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top of each jar. Enjoy this flavor packed, nutrient dense breakfast on the go! Chia pudding will keep in the fridge for 4 days, so why not make a double recipe for the work week? Enjoy!

Are we right? Chia pudding is a great and versatile options for an easy and satisfying breakfast. We love this variation for the addition of pear juice which adds a subtle sweetness and seasonal flavor. Once you get started with chia pudding, you may never stop!
