Chia seed pudding is a nutritious dessert 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 dish is popular for its health benefits, as chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. To prepare chia seed pudding, mix chia seeds with your choice of liquid and sweetener, then let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. The result is a creamy, versatile pudding that can be flavored with fruits, nuts, or spices, making it a customizable and healthy treat.
