11. Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seed pudding is a versatile and nutritious snack that’s easy to prepare and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and several essential minerals, including calcium and magnesium. When mixed with a liquid (such as almond milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk), chia seeds absorb the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture.
You can sweeten the pudding with a little honey or maple syrup and add flavorings such as vanilla or cocoa powder. Toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, and coconut flakes not only add flavor and texture but also enhance the nutritional profile of the snack. Chia seed pudding is not only filling and satisfying but also supports digestive health and provides a significant amount of nutrients in a small serving.
