5 Easy Chia Seed Puddings for Breakfast and Dessert

Chia seeds are packed with nutrients. A mere 2 tablespoons pack 8 g of fiber, 4 g of protein, and 2 g of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants — not too shabby for a tiny seed. Even more spectacular than its health value is its thickening ability, which can turn a plain cup of milk into a creamy pudding.

In just 3 steps, you can make yourself a delicious breakfast and dessert. The next time someone says that you can’t have dessert for breakfast? Tell them it’s good for you, and give them a bite of one of these chia seed puddings.
