Chia Seed Pudding: Cuisine HELP
Get in your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids with this tasty pudding!
Dr. Dave was recently telling me about the benefits of chia seeds. Two tablespoons of chia seeds contains over 4000 mcg of omega-3s! On the days that you enjoy a serving of this yummy pudding, there is no need to take your fish oil pills.
Lee and I like the chocolate variation best. I usually make up eight servings at a time and keep them in the fridge to enjoy as a snack or dessert.

- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup almond milk
