Due to their nutritional value, chia seeds are trending in the food industry and are commonly found in people’s pantries. We all know that smoothies and chia seeds are almost inseparable.
So, we decided to give a different twist to chia seeds and make a pudding with our all-time favorite coconut milk. Coconut milk adds a layer of creaminess and natural sweetness to the pudding.
We have used two different types of milk, but please use your preferred milk. To make it vegan, we recommend coconut or almond milk.
Chia seeds are a great source of protein, fiber, and many more things. This delicious dessert is light but silky-creamy that will satisfy your cravings for dessert. A pinch of cardamom powder makes the flavor unique.
