Detox January: Chia Pudding

Last week, we launched detox January here and promised to share a new #fruityfriday recipe with you each week. This week we’re continuing our focus on breakfast with a delicious and healthy recipe for chia pudding. Most of the work can be done the night before so it’s ideal for those busy mornings before work and school. We love the idea of topping the chia pudding with different fruits each and every time to keep it fresh and interesting!
