@herbyeater I was very much in a wink-y mood when filming this, but it’s because I can’t help myself from being happy around chia seeds. 😉 SO good for you in many ways, there’s a reason they have their very own refillable jar in my kitchen. 🥰 These chia seed puddings are perfect for preparing ahead and taking to go for those out the door early morning breakfasts, and they are so delicious they even sub as a perfect snack or dessert! Plus, no refined sugar and 100% plant based creamy goodness is always a win. 😌 #plantbasedrecipes #veganbreakfast #chiaseeds #plantbasedrecipes #healthybreakfastideas

Notes
If using salted peanut butter, skip the added salt.
For a smoother texture, mash the banana very well before adding the other ingredients.
Add sliced banana, cacao nibs, or berries on top before serving if desired.
