What are Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant, which is native to Central America.
When mixed with liquid, chia seeds absorb the moisture and develop a gel-like texture. The consistency makes it perfect for chia seed pudding or as a smoothie booster. They are considered a superfood and offer several health benefits:

• Loaded with antioxidants, calcium, and magnesium
• Rich in fiber: 1 tablespoon of chia seeds has around 5 grams of fiber.
• High in omega-3 fatty acids

Ingredients

• ½ cup chia seeds
• 2 cups milk of choice (I like to use coconut milk)
• Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, etc.), adjust to your preference
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
