Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds are my new favorite superfood! I like to add them to smoothies, homemade muffins, and my morning oatmeal. But recently, I’ve been loving this simple and satisfying chia seed pudding.
Rich in amino acids (it’s a complete protein!), zinc, fiber, calcium, and B vitamins, you can feel good about indulging in this treat. And, because chia seeds absorb 10 times their weight in water, you’ll feel fuller for a longer period of time, which is great if you’re trying to stop snacking on junk food between meals.
Chia seeds can be purchased in bulk online, and you can also find them in the bulk bins at most local and national health food stores.
