Chia seed pudding is a nutritious dish made by soaking chia seeds in liquid, typically milk or a dairy-free alternative, until they absorb the liquid and form a gel-like consistency. This process usually takes a few hours or overnight, allowing the seeds to expand and create a creamy texture. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making them a popular choice for a healthy snack or breakfast option. The pudding can be flavored with ingredients like vanilla, honey, or fruit, and can be topped with nuts or granola for added texture and taste.
