What Is Chia Pudding?
Chia pudding is made by soaking chia seeds in liquid (like plant-based milk) until they swell into a tapioca-like texture. These tiny seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, plant protein, and antioxidants, making chia pudding a superfood-powered breakfast or snack.
The best part? You can customize it endlessly, which is why this peach and almond version is such a summertime star.
