Chia Pudding has now become my new favorite breakfast. This recipe doesn’t need any cooking. It needs soaking time for an hour or overnight for the chia seeds to swell. You can enjoy this chia pudding for breakfast, snack, or as a dessert. I crave this every morning( I am a sweet-tooth). It is best served with fruits, to give that extra depth of flavor.
Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They also have iron and calcium. Did you know that chia seeds were an important food source for the Aztec and the Mayans? Apparently, Chia means strength in ancient Mayan, for the ability to provide energy. They are also used as an egg replacement in vegan baking, by mixing chia seeds with water.
