Cha cha cha chia. Sorry I couldn't help myself. Yes, today I made pudding out of chia seeds. Who knew they not only make growable pets, but they are good for you too!
I am feeling nostalgic today so check out this Chia Pet video.
Okay, back on topic. Did you know Chia seeds contain,
- 15 x more magnesium than broccoli
- 7 x more vitamin C than oranges
- 6 x more calcium than milk
- 3 x more antioxidants than blueberries
- 3 x more iron than spinach
WOW!
Time to make some pudding.
What You'll Need
3/4 cup of chia seeds (you can buy these almost anywhere now - bulk barn, grocery stores)
2 cups of almond milk (to make your own, check out my homemade almond milk recipe)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, finely shredded
1 Tbsp honey
Make It
Just dump all ingredients in a bowl, mix it up and let it set for a few minutes. It's that easy. The chia seeds absorb the liquids and they become almost jelly-like. Within minutes, it will be ready for you to gobble up.
Eat right away or place the pudding in the fridge for later.
