Chia Seed Benefits

They have a really good amount of nutrients for the amount of calories they contain and almost all of their carbs are from fiber. These seeds are also a really good source of healthy fats and contain more omega-3 than salmon gram for gram. This recipe is a really easy way to incorporate them into your diet. They can also be easily thrown into smoothies or even salads.

Chia seeds are mucilaginous meaning they have a viscous and gelatinous consistency. In medicine mucilaginous plants are used to help with burns, wounds and internal and external swelling. In this recipe the mucilaginous properties of chia seeds is what gives it a pudding-like consistency.

Step-By-Step Recipe

The perfect ratio is 3 tablespoons chia seeds to 1 cup milk of choice.

I used oat milk but any type of milk will work just fine. I then put in a tablespoon of agave for sweetener but any type of sweetener would work just as well.

Next, put that In the refrigerator until it's thick (about one hour). I left mine in the refrigerator overnight to have for breakfast the next morning. 

Chia seeds with oat milk and agave left in a glass container overnight.

 

You could then eat it plain if you prefer, but I recommend adding some of your favorite fruit!

I blended up some fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I then just poured that on top and mixed it in. Adding chunks of fruit would also be really good. It's whatever you prefer! I really enjoyed the berry mixture though. And that's it!
