Chia pudding reminds me of my mom’s rice pudding but a healthier version. Chia seeds might be little but are packed with nutritional benefits. Did you know these little seeds are the only food to have a medical patent for blood glucose control. Chia seeds are high in fibre, protein, and anti inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds can be used in cereals, smoothies, yogurts, puddings, and as an egg substitute. Who ever knew a little seed could deliver such a major nutrition punch.

Happy Mother’s Day!
