A Fiber-Rich Breakfast That Is Almost Too Pretty to Eat

If you're tired of waking up every day to the same scrambled eggs or bowl of Cheerios, it's time for an intervention. Chia seed pudding is proof that breakfast can be not just healthy and delicious but also seriously good looking. This breakfast treat is also simple to put together: combine a quarter cup of chia seeds with one cup of any milk of your choice (we love almond), then mix the ingredients together and pop in the fridge overnight. Come morning, you'll have a fiber-rich breakfast that's also packed with omega-3s (not to mention it's vegan and gluten-free). To make your meal even more delicious, enjoy your pudding with any combination of healthy toppings or mix-ins.
