Mindblowing 5-Ingredient Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding (Healthy)

By Evelyn

Chia seeds are one of those things that gets better with time. The more I experiment with it, the more it becomes my go-to ingredient for healthy treats like this chia seed pudding for example. It takes just a few ingredients to make this mindblowing dessert that contains everything from fiber, to omega-3s, to protein—truly deserving of its superfood title. Not many people realize how chia seeds can turn change texture once it’s soaked in liquid but it thickens beautifully to make an outstanding chocolate chia pudding.
