If the word pudding makes you think of a fancy dessert that takes a long time to make, don’t worry.
Chia pudding is a scoopable jelly made from chia seeds that are simply soaked in water or milk.
You can then level it up with toppings and spices to make a delicious breakfast or a power snack.
In our recipe, we prepared a matcha-flavoured milk, stirred in the seeds, and left them to soak until thick and jelly-like.
Then, we rounded it all up with a combo of yummy toppings!
Wondering what makes chia pudding so jelly-like?
It’s all thanks to some special fibres!
Chia seeds are among the foods with the most fibres on the planet, weight by weight.
These fibres, called soluble fibres, dissolve in water and turn into a viscous substance.
The longer you let the seeds soak, the thicker the pudding gets!
The fibres in chia seeds aren’t just the magic behind your pudding but are also good for you in many ways, from fighting cravings to lowering cholesterol.
