The benefits of chia seeds
Chia seeds are native to South America, particularly Mexico. The Aztecs already attributed them with medicinal properties. Today, we know that these small seeds have many health benefits.
Chia seeds are rich in protein and fibre. They are therefore ideal for people on a vegetarian diet. Fibre is essential for the proper functioning of intestinal transit. They facilitate digestion and therefore help against constipation. Chia seeds are also rich in omega 3. Omegas 3 have benefits for the heart and nervous system. They are also said to have beneficial effects on skin hydration. Finally, these small seeds are also rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly rich in calcium and magnesium.
Don’t wait any longer to incorporate them into your diet! One to two tablespoons a day are enough to enjoy all their benefits.
How to eat chia seeds?
Chia seeds can be eaten dry or, as in this recipe, soaked in milk, as a almond chia pudding. When in contact with liquid, chia seeds swell and take on a slightly viscous texture. Chia pudding has a consistency similar to yoghurt.
About this recipe
I suggest you prepare this recipe for almond chia pudding the night before for the next day. It takes at least six hours to obtain the desired consistency.
The chia seeds have a relatively neutral taste, which is why I used almond milk for this recipe. You can use any type of milk or vegetable drink. Feel free to add as much fruit as you like. Prefer seasonal fruit.
