    What makes chia pudding so healthy?

    Chia seeds may be small in size but they are full of important nutrients. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Chia pudding is a creamy, satisfying breakfast, snack or dessert that can be topped with fruits and nuts.

    Chia seeds are also great to add to smoothies, yogurt, and breakfast cereals. The recommended allowance is up to 20 grams (about 1.5 tablespoons) of chia seeds, twice per day. Since it is high in fiber, too much can cause bloating, constipation, gas, abdominal pain and diarrhea – moderation a must!

    Some say chia seeds curb your appetite and may promote weight loss. As with any foods that are high in fiber, they tend to keep you full longer which may help you from overeating. My thoughts, if it’s healthy and you enjoy eating it, then give it a try!
