Chia pudding has a silky, satisfying texture and is, of course, packed with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids from the chia seeds. It's delicious with any nut milk you choose - brazil nut, hazelnut, cashew - or whole raw milk if you tolerate dairy. It’s a great place to sneak in adaptogenics, such as astragalus, as well. We enjoy this as a slightly sweet treat for breakfast or in the afternoon as a satiating snack.
