Happy National Chia Day! March 23rd each year is dedicated to this seed, measuring only 1 mm in diameter but packed with essential nutrients for the body! So to celebrate this tiny force of healthiness we of course, made pudding with our friends at Navitas Organics. Navitas Organics, an a healthy lifestyle brand that offers highest-quality organic superfoods to keep you energized. There’s so much to love about chia seeds, especially pudding.

National Chia Seed Day Pudding Celebration

One of my favorite ways to eat chia seeds is as a pudding. This easy recipe is made overnight – it makes a quick breakfast or mid-day snack. These seeds are not only high in fiber, but they absorb 10x their size in water helping you hydrate and feel feel satisfied and energized. This specific pudding recipe is topped with another superfood – goji and blueberry compote for even more benefits.

Superfood Recipe: Chia Seed Pudding with Goji + Blueberry Compote

Directions

• Whisk seeds + almond milk + honey in a cup or bowl. Use a whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients – this way it doesn’t get clumpy. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
