Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds (those magical little pods that absorb liquid like your skin after a night of tequila)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk that doesn't have sneaky added sugars)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (no added sugar – read the label, sugar has more aliases than a spy)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (your new BFF during sugar detox)
• 1/4 cup sliced strawberries (for topping and making it look fancy)

Instructions

1. In a jar or container, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (mason jars preferred for maximum hipster points).
2. Stir well to combine, making sure there are no clumps (nobody wants chia seed lumps, trust us).
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours (patience is a virtue, especially during sugar detox).
4. Before serving, stir again and top with sliced strawberries (if it looks weird, call it "artisanal").
