My girls love Chia seed pudding and I love chia seed pudding because it offers a good nutritional punch without compromising taste. Chia seed pudding can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, and/or a healthy snack. Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. We had some apples and pears that we starting to soften, instead of wasting them we decided to make an apple pear sauce. This recipe uses coconut milk but you could substitute for another plant based milk such as almond if you like. We added an apple and pear sauce to the chia seed pudding and topped it with apples and pears that were sauteed in coconut oil, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup.
