Remember the chia pet - those horrible terra-cotta figurines you'd wet and slather with chia seeds? WELL - who knew years later, we'd be EATING said chia seeds and raving about their health benefits?
Here's just a few of their amazing qualities:
-They absorb 10x their weight in water - therefore making you feel fuller, faster
-They are the richest plant source of Omega-3's -- MORE than salmon!
-Chia seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbs to simple sugars, they can help control blood sugar, therefore great for diabetics!
-High in fiber - 1 tablespoon contains 20% of your daily value!
This chia seed pudding is sweet and creamy - it doesn't taste healthy! If you like the consistency of tapioca pudding, you will love this. Feel free to add fruit, and play around with different flavors. It's delicious sprinkled with cinnamon!
2-1/2 cups chocolate almond milk ( could use vanilla or any other type you prefer)
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 tablespoons agave
Mix ingredients together in a large lidded jar. Shake vigorously. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight, shaking or stirring occasionally. Serve and enjoy!
