This may be the easiest pudding you’ll ever make! Chia seeds, when combined with liquid such as water or plant milk, absorb all the moisture, creating a mixture with a pudding-like consistency. And since chia seeds are a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium, what’s not to love?
