I have been hearing quite a bit about Chia Breakfast Puddings for quite some time now and how great that they were. My previous experience with chia seeds has been limited to sprinkling on top of other dishes, or adding to smoothies.
When I discovered a packet of chia seeds in my pantry yesterday, I knew it was time to try a pudding out. I decided to try a vanilla flavoured one first and was pretty impressed with how it turned out, and will definitely be adding it to my regular breakfast rotation. My 2 year old son also loved it and was fighting me for each mouthful; I will have to make another version that is nut-free, so that I can test it on my (somewhat fussier) daughter!
The great thing about this meal is that it is so easy to prepare. Really, really easy. You make it up the night before and put it in the refrigerator to set, and it is then waiting for you when you wake up.
