A nutritious, no-cook dessert or snack, chia pudding with berries is created by mixing chia seeds with milk or yogurt and letting it set overnight. The liquid is absorbed by the chia seeds, giving it a thick, creamy consistency. The chia and berries provide antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. You may customize the pudding by adding different toppings and your favorite milk or yogurt. It's a quick and wholesome breakfast or light snack choice.
