Strawberry Chia Pudding (Paleo, Real Food, Vegan)

   Happy 2018!  Let's start off this year right with a brand new recipe!  I just love how easily chia puddings come together, and I really love how delicious and filling they are.  Chia pudding is one of my favorite breakfasts and it is great when you need something that is quick and portable in the mornings. Chia seeds were highly valued by the Aztecs, prized for their medicinal properties and nutritional content.  Chia, which means "strength" in Maya, was used to fuel runners and warriors because of their ability to provide long-lasting energy. We now know that consuming chia seeds provides many more benefits and they are known for promoting health skin, reducing signs of aging, supporting the digestive system, and more.  And this low-sugar pudding is a great family-friendly way of incorporating more of this super food into your diet!   As usual, I use a minimum amount of sweetener, and I really think it helps the strawberry flavor shine through.  Feel free to
