Chia Seed Pudding Recipe
Chia seeds are so packed with important nutrients and they have so many health benefits. They are full of omega-3 fatty acids, they are rich in antioxidants, and they pack a great fiber, iron, and calcium punch. These nutrient dense seeds have been associated with a reduced risk of many adverse health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality.
Here is an easy recipe that I love to make! You can add all sorts of low carb goodies to make it a delicious treat or meal!
