Healthy taro chia pudding

A little rendition of the usual tapioca taro pudding.  Swapped the coconut milk for skim milk and the tapioca for chia seeds. I wouldn't say it tastes the same, but it's delicious and healthy none the less!!!

Ingredients

1/4 of a large taro root

4 tablespoons chia seeds

1 1/2 cups milk (any type. I used skim to make it healthier but use 2% or homo milk or creaminess)

1/4 cup brown sugar

Combine milk and chia seeds. Let sit for 20-30 minutes storing every 5 minutes to remove clumps.  While letting it sit....

Cut the taro into small cubes 

Bring a pot of water to boil and add the cubes. Make sure the water covers all the taro. Turn the stove to medium high and let boil for 25 -30 minutes.

Drain taro and mash very fine 

Add chia seed milk mixture and sugar, stir.

There you go! Simple, delicious and nutritious. Add more milk or sugar if need be!

Note: the longer you let it sit out or in the fridge, the more pudding like it will be. So try letting it sit overnight if possible!
