The nutritional value of your milk will all depend on the kind of milk you use. Of course, you will want to purchase the best, but forgive yourself if you can only afford the cheap stuff.
Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, as well as an unusual amount of plant protein.

Don’t worry too much about the amount of fat in the chia seeds. As long as you’re not ingesting a cup of chia seeds at a time, the fat content is rather negligible. And it is a seed, the fat is digested easier by the body then say if the fat was coming from an animal source.
Don’t be afraid to experiment some…if you’re feeling like a treat add some chocolate syrup or cocoa powder (the powder probably being the most healthy if unsweetened.)
Enjoy!!
