Healthy Snack Option: Chia Seed Pudding

If there's one thing Jackie and I have, it's definitely a major sweet tooth.  This weekend we tried an interesting recipe of Chia Seed Pudding.  Sounds crazy, right? The Chia Seeds actually absorb the liquid and plump up making them the texture of tapioca... this also causes the liquid to thicken and creates the "pudding".

We LOVE our Chia Seeds! Chia seeds are great for getting your energy fix, antioxidants, and fiber!  You can use chia seeds to top just about anything!
And if you are looking for a crazy boost of energy try a spoonful of chia seeds with a spoonful of coconut oil mixed together... we aren't kidding!
