WHAT IS CHIA PUDDING
Chia pudding is basically made with those amazing chia seeds.
They expand when added to liquid and create a pudding almost some would say tapioca like texture.
I like to eat chia pudding 3x per week and so will make a batch typically on a Sunday night and have a few sitting in the fridge for the week ahead.
CHIA PUDDING SEED RATIO
When I first made this I was experimenting with that ratio and came up with a 3/4 cup of liquid to 3 tbsp chia seeds is best.
Which will make one serving for someones breakfast!
