Chia seeds are rich in Omega-3s and easier to digest than flax. Other health benefits are explained here. My first experience with them was making this simple pudding. The chia seed creates a gel when it absorbs liquid, which makes it great for making a no-cook pudding.
Coconut-Chia Pudding
Ingredients:
1 15 oz can of coconut milk (1 1/2 cups)
3/8 cup chia seeds
1/4-3/8 cup agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla
Stir together all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
Variations: add cocoa powder or fruit purees. For a raw pudding, blend together the water and jelly from a young coconut and use it in place of the canned coconut milk.
