Nutrient-Filled Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are a plant-based protein that contains amino acids, antioxidants, healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Plus, they have minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. Despite their tiny size, they deliver a ton of nutrients! Due to their fiber, they leave you feeling fuller for longer and have been linked to improved digestion.

When mixed with liquid, chia seeds turn into a gel-like substance, which makes them a fantastic base for pudding. Check out my super easy recipe below.
