That’s right, this Vegan Chia Pudding is the healthiest possible version of these classic flavors and we think it might make it to the top of your favorites list.
If there was a competition for the healthiest foods on the planet, chia would definitely be one of the finalists and there are plenty of reasons why. Shall we look at a few of those? One of the most sought-after qualities of these little black seeds is their extremely high content of Omega 3 fatty acids, but their wonderful nutritional powers don’t stop there, they are also packed with antioxidants, fiber, and high-quality protein.
If you’re interested in lowering your overall inflammation, your blood sugar levels, and your risk of heart disease, then we highly recommend looking for ways to incorporate chia seeds into your diet. This delicious Chia Pudding is one way!
Interesting fact: these magical seeds come from a plant with the very fancy name, Salvia Hispanica, and were regulars in the diets of Aztecs and Mayans, it doesn’t get cooler than that!
Another superpower of this seed is that it swells when paired with liquid and creates a pudding-like consistency, achieved after some resting time of sorts. When preparing chia pudding, which is the base of this chia pudding, you can store it for days in your refrigerator.
