This creamy and fruity overnight chia seed pudding recipe is not only quick to prepare but also requires no cooking. It’s perfect for a healthy breakfast or a refreshing dessert. With a texture reminiscent of tapioca or sago pudding, chia seeds transform into tender pearls as they soak up the liquid.
Chia seeds, from the Salvia hispanica plant, are tiny—about the size of poppy seeds—and come in black and white varieties. As they absorb liquid, they swell and become delightfully plump and juicy, adding a burst of texture to every spoonful. Plus, chia seeds are great for gut health, helping to reduce bloating and encouraging the growth of good bacteria.
