Despite their tiny size, chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse: they are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, calcium,  fiber, and protein. When mixed with liquid, the fiber-packed seeds resemble tapioca pudding, but with many more nutritional benefits, including boosting energy, aiding digestion, and stabilizing blood sugar. This Coconut Chia Pudding by Lena Ropp is absolutely delicious with any fruits and berries.
