Recipe: Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

by

Satisfy those sweet cravings with this deliciously sweet peanut butter chia pudding. Eat it for breakfast, grab it and go for a healthy snack, or savor it for dessert. It’s sure to please whichever way you choose.

I kind of brushed it off and figured he would continue to just get it there and be content. Aaaand then he asked me how hard it was to make. Which, in theory, isn’t hard at all.

I obliged anyway and made a batch for him to try.

Which basically makes this recipe for French Toast Bake the absolute best thing ever. Why?
