12 Tempting Chia Pudding Recipes
Chia pudding is a nutritious treat that tastes like dessert.
The tiny, black seeds (yes, the same ones that sprout into green “hair” on a chia pet) are able to absorb up to 12 times their weight in liquid, causing them to acquire the silky texture of pudding.
If you haven’t tried chia pudding yet, now’s the time. Eat it as a breakfast, snack, or dessert, or add it to your next meal prep.
With chia pudding, the variations are endless. Whether you make it with almond milk or coconut milk, sprinkle it with cinnamon, or add your favorite fruit, it’s easy to tweak a recipe to make it taste exactly the way you want.
