Why Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds have gained popularity in recent years due to their numerous health benefits. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients, including fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. They are also a great source of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

When soaked in liquid, chia seeds form a gel-like consistency, which gives the pudding its creamy texture. This gel also helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer, making it a perfect option for a healthy breakfast or snack.
