Chia Seed Pudding
By sarahbettine
This is a great go-to recipe. It is fabulous because it is raw and contains chia seeds which are very nutritious because they are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. When mixed with liquid, they plump giving the mixture a tapioca-like consistency. This recipe is extremely versatile as well, you can literally add just about anything to it an top it with, including your favorite fruits, nuts, seeds or coconut.
