Breakfast, Snack, Dessert…Chia Pudding is the healthy treat that does it all. I’m that girl always looking for a breakfast, post work-out snack, or late-night treat that’s healthy, but also curbs my sweet tooth, and this homemade Chia Pudding hits the spot every time. It tastes like a creamy treat, but is full of fiber, healthy fats, and I add a scoop of protein powder so it keeps me fuller longer. It’s a great option if you’re tracking macros or just trying to eat more protein. Make a big batch because it will last all week. I love to top it with fresh berries and my favorite granola.
Combine: Add milk, chia seeds, protein powder, agave, and vanilla to a bowl or jar and stir well. Set aside for 10 minutes, then stir again—the seeds should have started to gel. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Serve with berries and granola on top. If you love this recipe, make sure to try my Chocolate Overnight Oats, Strawberry Overnight Oats, and Pitaya Bowl!

Enjoy the Warmth of Creamy Arroz con Leche!During my first Spanish class in middle school my teacher taught us a song called “arroz con leche” and made us some to try. I think of her every time I make this recipe.
I’m a huge rice pudding fan, and love both the American-style baked rice pudding and this Mexican rice pudding. The biggest difference between them is the way the rice is cooked. American rice pudding typically uses leftover rice and is baked or cooked on the stove. Arroz con leche is made with raw rice that cooks right in the creamy, cinnamon milk mixture and often contains sweetened condensed milk.
Cook Rice in Milk: Wash rice until water runs clear (to remove the outer starch layer). Combine milk, cinnamon stick, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat then bring to a low boil. Add rice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add raisins to a bowl then cover with very hot water to allow them to “plump” for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
Finish: Remove cinnamon stick from cooked rice mixture. Stir in sugar and raisins then cook for 10-15 minutes more, stirring often to avoid burning. Remove from heat then stir in butter, condensed milk, and vanilla. Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top!
To Store: This Mexican rice pudding can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat on low in a pot on the stove. Add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.
