This simple dish is a winner all the way around for both its health benefits and its ease of preparation. Even your kids can make a batch of chia seed pudding. Sometimes they’re more willing to eat foods they’ve helped prepare.
Great for breakfast, snack or dessert, chia seed pudding is packed full of brain-loving omega-3 fatty acids in both the chia seeds and the berries you may choose to put on top. (Black berries have the highest amounts of omega-3.) You also get a great boost of fiber and protein from the chia seeds. This definitely meets the criteria of getting protein, fat, and fiber with every meal or snack. Enjoy!
