I don't hate spending time in the kitchen but I do love getting in and right back out. When I make chia pudding I usually make it right before bed so it's ready when needed the next day. Scroll down and read the ingredients a few times before you start and you can be in and out of the kitchen in under 5 minutes like me!
Chia Seeds are a great source of fiber.
