Chia seeds are little nutritional powerhouses rich in Omega-3, calcium, and antioxidants. They’re also a great source of fiber and because they absorb 10 times their weight in water they help make you feel fuller – aiding in weight loss diets.
Make this pudding the night before for a deliciously healthy breakfast the next day. You can also serve as a dessert. The chia seeds swell and plumpen to a consistency similar to tapioca. Makes 1 serving.
