Until recently, they were an almost unknown food, and if you said that you eat chia seeds, people would probably look at you in amazement. Today, this "black gold" can hardly be missed, especially in smoothies, granules, crackers, yogurts…

Chia seeds are synonymous with healthy food, fast and nutritious meal, but also not very popular taste. Namely, if you make chia pudding only from chia seeds and milk - there will be no taste. I know this for sure, because the first time I made chia pudding for my daughter, I wondered why she spat on it. Well те Guess why. Because the chia itself, seeks "company". Fruit, honey, whatever your soul desires.

By itself, chia absorbs almost 12 times more fluid than its weight, so it is a good base for pudding. Today we place it in the category of superfoods, and the happy fact is that it can be included in the diet in different ways, and not become boring. If you have not tried chia before, we will suggest you a simple recipe for chia pudding.
