Chia pudding is all the rage on Instagram right now, but its history goes back much further. In ancient times, chia seeds were used as “warrior food” to boost strength and endurance. When soaked in water, these tiny seeds expand into a gel-like consistency that feels both luxurious and light. By layering it with fruits, nuts, or honey, you can turn chia pudding into a healthy and versatile dessert, snack, or breakfast.
