Chia seeds are a great thickener in puddings and shakes.
This chia seed pudding is perfect for a quick breakfast or midday snack. Chia seeds and flax milk have Omega 3's, which is great because of their pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and heart-healthy properties. Chia seeds are not only great detoxifiers but also rich in fiber, and they provide a feeling of satiety (feeling full).
I use chia seeds in my morning shake. I like the gelatinous texture. If you don't, drink it up quickly before the gelatin it's most noted for begins to form. Chia seeds can also be used to fortify and thicken soups.
In this recipe, we are refrigerating the shake recipe so that the chia seeds activate and create gelatin. Top this chia seed pudding with your favorite nuts, fruit, or a combination. Garnish with a drizzle of your favorite honey on top.
