Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds are overflowing with nutrition. Just one ounce provides 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, calcium, magnesium, manganese, other trace minerals, and potent antioxidants. They are also full of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids in the form of ALA.
Chia seeds are incredibly hydrophilic due to their gelatinous outer coating that absorbs up to 12 times their weight in liquid, creating a gel-like quality and texture perfect for puddings and jams. In addition, their gelatinous quality helps us hydrate and feel full longer. At the same time, the high fiber content and gentle effect of the mucilaginous coating soothes inflammation in our intestines while also gently sweeping away toxins and maintaining regularity. Chia may help to regulate blood-sugar levels, reduce cholesterol and even normalize hormones, so eat up!
