Ingredients:
For the chia puddings:

• ½ cup chia seeds
• ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey, agave nectar, or coconut sugar)
• Pinch of salt

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom pods (optional)
Pomegranate Arils (for serving):
• 1 small or 1/2 large pomegranate
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and pinch of salt until well combined. Set aside for a few minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the Moroccan spice mix by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
