This combination is full of omega-3-fats which is important for decreasing inflammation throughout our body. Many diseases are linked to inflammation. In fact - I suggest patients increase their omega-3-fats when they have conditions associated with inflammation like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hashimoto's thyroid disease, etc.

This was so quick & easy. Make it the night before and it'll be ready the next day 👍

FYI-- it can be made with any type of milk and will still be yummy!

I chose @califiafarms coconut-almond milk bc its loaded with vitamins and no added sugar.
I topped it off with bananas, but you can choose whatever fruit you wish 😉

STEPS:
-In a bowl add 1 cup of skim milk -Add in 1 cup of non-fat yougrt (can even omit this if you wish)
-Add in 2 tablespoons of agave nectar
-Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-Whisk in 1/3 cup of chia seeds
-Add in 2 tablespoon of grated coconut
-Add in 1 tablespoon of siced almonds
-Mix it up so that the seeds are dispersed throughout the liquid
-Cover and place in fridge overnight
-Should be ready by the morning! The longer you leave it in the fridge, the more pudding-like it will become
-Serve it up with some fruits, oats, whatever you like!
