Chia seeds have been a staple food in Central and South America for centuries, and they're now gaining popularity all over the world for their nutritional value. They're a good source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and they're also gluten-free and low in calories. Chia seeds are also known for their ability to absorb liquid, which makes them a great ingredient for puddings and other desserts.This chia seed pudding recipe is inspired by the traditional Mexican dessert known as "chia fresca." Chia fresca is made with chia seeds, water, and lime juice, and it's often served with fresh fruit and berries. My recipe uses coconut milk instead of water for a richer flavor, and I've added honey and vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor. The result is a delicious and nutritious pudding that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
