The health benefits of chia seeds

For what they are chia seeds are little nutritional powerhouses that are really versatile.

• They are one of the complete sources of vegan protein and contain all 9 of the amino acids.
• Rich in fibre, antioxidants, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium
• Excellent source of essential fatty acids

Recipe tips

• The chia seeds will expand and soak up the liquid with time as it chills in the fridge. Don’t be tempted to add more chia seeds to the mixture if it looks watery at first glance, with time it will all balance out.
• If you prefer a smoother pudding and aren’t a fan of the mouthfeel of chia seeds, you can blend up the pudding once it is set.
• The recipe is easily scaleable, so why not double it so you have easy, healthy breakfasts for the entire week.

Storing

• Refrigeration: you can store the chia pudding in the fridge for up to a week, just make sure it is always refrigerated and covered.
• Freezing: it is also possible to freeze the chia pudding, just place it in a shallow air tight container once it is set, where you can keep it for up to 3 months. Just allow to defrost fully before consuming.
