Ch-ch-chia! Yes, we all remember those infomercials about selling the Chia Pet. Who knew that chia seeds were actually incredibly good for you? They are full of omega-3's and anti-oxidants. These seeds are quite magical. When soaked in liquid, they form a tapioca-pudding like texture around each seed. You just soak the seeds overnight and in the morning, voila- you have pudding! It feels like a science experiment, perhaps inciting the same kind of wonder and excitement consumers felt growing their Chia Pets? The seeds are still whole in the pudding, which I love the texture of, but if you don't like it you can smooth it out in a blender. Enjoy this easy, delicious and very healthy recipe!
