What are the Benefits of Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds may be small and tiny yet they are full of nutrition. They are a real powerhouse of various essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Well-known for their high omega-3 fatty acids content, chia seeds may lower your risk of heart disease, improve brain function, support bone health, etc.
They are rich in proteins, fiber and antioxidants. Some of the important minerals they have are calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, all of which improve your bone mineral density.
They have the ability to absorb liquids quite well and turn them into a gel-like consistency (which makes this chia pudding so deliciously creamy). This process practically activates the chia seeds and they get even more nutritious.
This chia seed pudding is one easy way to incorporate chia seeds into your diet. You can also add them to your smoothies, oatmeal, or even use them as an egg substitute.
