Ingredients 1 cup vanilla-flavored unsweetened almond milk 1 cup plain low-fat (2 percent) Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (preferably grade B), plus 4 teaspoons for serving 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 1 pint strawberries, hulled and chopped 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (not pictured) 1/8 teaspoon of Kosher Salt 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon Directions Wisk the almond milk, , yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, the vanilla, salt and cinnamon together in a medium size bowl. When blended, add the chia seeds, and let stand for 30 minutes. If the seeds settle, stir again, cover and refrigerate. After chilling for 8-10 hours, mix the nuts (optional) and remaining 4 teaspoons of maple syrup. For the effect I am presenting, spoon the mixture into mason jars, and top with berries.  This makes a great take to work breakfast or snack that will make the whole office jealous. Makes 2 to 4 servings depending on the size of Jar you are using. Recipe adapted from Giada De Laurentiis Chia Seed Pudding, for Food Network...
