Chia pudding reminds me of my mom’s rice pudding but a healthier version. Chia seeds might be little but are packed with nutritional benefits. Did you know these little seeds are the only food to have a medical patent for blood glucose control. Chia seeds are high in fibre, protein, and anti inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.

Happy Mother’s Day!
