Chia seed puddings are always part of my weekly prep, they are so easy to make and super handy to have in the fridge for an on-the-go snack or breakfast.
Chia seeds are also a great source of:
Omega-3 fatty acids (a plant-based source of ALA)
A source of protein
A good balance of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats
They also do wonders for digestion and are known as constipation-relieving foods, so perfect for postpartum mothers and babies starting solids.
