Description
Chia pudding is a super simple breakfast or snack known for its extremely high fiber content, keeping you full for long periods of time with minimal calories. Additionally, chia seeds are also loaded with healthy fats, namely the omega 3 fatty acid ALA, as well as unsaturated fats and a bit of protein. Here is a simple base recipe for chia pudding, that can serve as the basis for all the toppings you can imagine.
