In a small bowl, mash 1/2 large banana. Slice the other half of the banana into thin pieces. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon to the banana.

In the same bowl, stir in the milk and chia seeds until thoroughly combined.

Spoon the chia-milk- banana mixture into a glass or jar layering the chia mixture and the sliced bananas. Top with chia mixture.

Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.

Mixture will be creamy and chia seeds will be softened and take on a gelatin like consistency- think tapioca.

Garnish with additional banana slices and cinnamon, if desired.

Serves 2

Consider adding other berries to your chia puddings like blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. Try toasted nuts or seeds as well.
