Why Chia Seeds?
Chia seeds provide fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a fantastic base for healthy snacks and breakfasts. They absorb liquid to form a pudding-like texture while supporting energy and digestion.
Flavor Variations
- Mocha: Add 1 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder for a chocolate-coffee blend.
