Chia seeds pack a mighty punch when it comes to nutrition, packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries and more omega-3 than Salmon. Chia seeds are also packed with fiber, protein, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Now that’s what I call a superfood! The high amounts of dietary fibre in these chia seed puddings helps with appetite control, bowel movements, and blood sugar levels, all of which can assist weight loss.
Chia seed pudding is a simple and delicious way to easily get all the wonderful benefits of chia seeds. They take minutes to make and have enough protein and nutrients to be a quick, on-the-go breakfast, healthy snack or even dessert! You can’t go wrong!
