Blackberry, Kiwi and Chia Pudding with Granola Recipe

Chia seeds aren't just for those furry little chia pets you find as a gag gift. Nope, they are popping up everywhere as a superfood you shouldn't be ignoring. Chia seeds actually have three times more iron than spinach, twice as much potassium as a banana and are a great source of fiber. They are a small but mighty seed and you are going to want to come up with more ideas on how to incorporate them into your daily diet.  Speaking of diet, if you are looking to watch what you eat, chia seeds can help you feel full longer since they absorb 10 times their weight in water. This blackberry, kiwi and chai pudding with granola is a great way to try load up on those superfoods.

3 Easy Ways to Eat Chia Seeds

By combining chia seeds with your favorite milk or milk alternative, you can easily whip up a chia pudding you are going to love. 

Since chia turns liquid into a jelly, you can also use chia seeds to make a healthier jam version at home. Simply add 1 tbsp of chia seeds to every cup of mashed fruit. No need to add anything else.

Chia seeds are perfect in a smoothie.  You can add them to an immune boosting smoothie bowl or to a more traditional smoothie recipe like this one.

Where do I buy Chia Seeds

You can pick up chia seeds at your local health food store. I've gotten them in the bulk food section of my local grocery store. You can also purchase them online and have them delivered to your door. This is the best deal I found on Amazon for chia seeds.

Are Chia Seeds OK on the Keto diet?

Yes! These little seeds are all fiber, so they are fully keto diet approved! Just make sure when you follow this recipe, you also use your keto approved milk option.
