Choose Your Chia: Almond Butter Raspberry or Hazlenut Mocha

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. You don’t have to cook chia seeds to make pudding, so it’s a good way to get kids into the kitchen. You simply mix, and wait. Here, we’re offering up two varieties of chia seed pudding that will definitely make it into your snack and treat rotation.
