Chia pudding is popular because it’s healthy, filling, low-calorie and like overnight oats, virtually effortless. Chia seeds are tiny nutrition powerhouses packed with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. When soaked, they absorb liquid and form a thick, creamy texture.
