This chia pudding takes a bit more time,
but most of it will be passive, as you'll have to wait overnight or for a
few hours for the chia seeds to absorb the milk. You can make this
snack with any plant milk of your choosing, or even water, but here we
use cow's milk to make it a bit richer in protein content. As you may
know, chia seeds are quite high in fiber and antioxidants, and they have
even been found to reduce the level of inflammation in the body and can
benefit digestive health.
The interesting feature of chia seeds is that they expand and gain a
jelly-like coating when exposed to liquids, so they are great to make
desserts that are very reminiscent of pudding but healthier. You can
also add cocoa powder in the pudding, and top the dessert-snack with
fruits, granola, nuts, or any topping of your choosing. Here is how to
make chia pudding at home:
