Why I Love This Chia Seed Pudding!
Plain and simple it’s the Chia Seeds and the great taste!
This recipe is full of great wholesome organic ingredients and my kids love it! As a mom, I love how easy chia seeds are to incorporate into our diets. Pudding is one of our favourite ways to consume them and it’s quick and easy! You can make so many variations from plain to chocolate to vanilla! You can top it with fresh fruit, frozen blueberries or whipped coconut cream and chocolate! I have some picky eaters, so I am glad these tiny seeds are rich in nutrients like magnesium and phosphorus. Not to mention, they’re high in fiber, and contain antioxidants, protein and iron. I hope you decide to try this recipe too! Leave a comment and let me know what your kids think!
