If you haven't been using these tiny healthy seeds in your diet, your missing out! When a chia seed is exposed to water, it becomes gelatinous and you can make it taste like whatever you want! Since the gel is made of water, it has no calories.
There are 6 grams of fiber per tablespoon of chia seed. That means 1/4 of your daily fiber in one tablespoon!
I was surprised to find that Chia also contains more omega 3 than salmon.
You can find some at your local Whole foods market, and even in the natures market of some Kroger stores.
Ingredients for one serving
1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seed
1 cup of coconut milk (soy, hemp, almond are other options)
Himalayan salt to taste
1 tablespoon of agave nectar
1 small banana
A cup of blueberries
1 tablespoon of vanilla
Dash of allspice
Dash of cardamom
Dash of cinnamon
Heat the milk, but do not boil
Whisk the chia seeds then add banana and blueberries
Add all other contents of ingredients
I like to small the blueberries up against the sides of the pan once they get soft. Kinda like popping bubble wrap lol.
Stir until its consistent like yogurt.
Chill in the fridge for up to 6 hours.
I topped the pudding with coconut flakes but of course this is optional.
Enjoy!
