Paleo Strawberry-Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are amazing and many consider them a superfood. I agree with them! Just 2 tablespoons give us:

Fiber: 11 grams.
Protein: 4 grams.
Fat: 9 grams (5 of which are Omega-3s!).
Calcium: 18% of the RDA.
Manganese: 30% of the RDA.
Magnesium: 30% of the RDA.
Phosphorus: 27% of the RDA.
Also a decent amount of Zinc, Vitamin B3, Potassium, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2.

I love to add them to my smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt. Not only are they nutrient dense, they also help keeps us full and hydrated.

I recently ventured into making my own chia seed puddings and I am hooked. This is a delectable recipe. I am so excited to share this truly healthy dessert with you!

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, nut free (except coconut), soy free, corn free, paleo, and has a vegan option.
