WHAT IS CHIA PUDDING
Chia pudding is typically made with a specific ratio of chia seeds to plant milk. When the chia seeds are mixed with the milk you let them stand for few hours and the seeds will expand and develop a gel like consistency which has the thickness of a pudding. You can add sweetener or fruit of your choice (see below some tips). This pudding with sweet figs and the crunchy granola keeps me fuelled for hours. Chia seeds are a great superfood to add to your diet. With a minute of prep the night before, I can wake up to a yummy bowl of chia pudding for breakfast. It’s perfect for days when I have very little or no time.
