Chia pudding is the perfect snack! It's sweet and leaves you feeling satisfied! Plus, it's naturally gluten free, dairy free, keto-friendly, vegan...it really checks all of the boxes! Oh, and it's very easy to prepare! Minimal effort required.

I've heard the consistency is similar to tapioca pudding- I mean...I wouldn't know...I've never had tapioca...but, maybe that will mean something to you.

After mixing the chia seeds with a liquid (I used almond milk), the mixture forms an almost gel-like pudding. You could simply add a little sweetener for a basic chia pudding. I also added peanut butter and dark cocoa powder for even more protein, fiber, and flavor! It feels like a decadent sweet treat, but it's actually pretty freakin' healthy!

Serve with a dollop of whipped topping and some fresh berries or coconut flakes.

So simple, after you make it once- you won't even need to look at the recipe again.
