Chia Seeds: Power packed in a little Package

As this image below shows, this is one of the reasons I eat Chia seeds.  They have a slight nutty flavor, but otherwise like rice or couscous they tend to take on the flavor of whatever they are mixed with.  This is the base of my Chia pudding.  To make Chia Pudding take an amount of Chia seeds and soak in double that amount of water.  Let soak for 10 minutes, stir to break up any clumps and let sit for another 10 or until all the water is gone -this is called Chia gel and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.  All that's left is to mix in whatever you want, berries, almond milk, regular milk, some seasonings like cinnamon and or vanilla.  All that's left is to enjoy!
