I love chia seeds, but I’ve only tried it in my lemonade or water. When I first heard about this chia seed pudding, I knew had to try it. After all, chia seeds are known to be a mini powerhouse packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries and more Omega-3 than Salmon. The chia seed is one of the oldest forms of nutrition in Mexico, Guatemala and other Central American Countries, dating back to ancient Mayan and Aztec diets, where it is a known source of Omega-3, rich in calcium and a good source of dietary fiber.
If you’ve never tried chia, be prepared for their texture can take a little getting used to. People either love it or hate it, not because of it’s taste, but because of its ability to thicken and gel. In fact, chia seeds don’t taste like anything, which makes it so versatile and are a great protein-packed addition to many recipes.
