| Around 10 years ago, chia seeds exploded onto the food blog scene as a “superfood” ingredient – both for its tendency to form a viscous gel when soaked, and for its fiber and omega-3 content. While plant-based omega-3s aren’t as useful to the body as an omega-3 you would get from fish or a supplement, it’s still a great way to make a tasty dessert that works with Paleo and Primal guidelines. Because of their neutral flavor, chia seed puddings are fun to experiment with, and a great way to enjoy dessert if you’re avoiding traditional pudding ingredients. The basic chia seed pudding recipe involves chia seeds, some liquid, ingredients for flavor, and a little time.

Here, we’re offering up two varieties of chia seed pudding that will definitely make it into your snack and treat rotation. Get the Recipe |
