Summer Fruits Chia Seed Pudding

Chia is one of the greatest superfoods around. 'Chia' is the Mayan word for strength and was a main staple of the great civilisations of South America. The nutrition benefits of chia are numerous and include: omega-3 fatty acids; fibre; calcium; antioxidants; vitamins A, B, D and E, magnesium and protein. They are also great for your digestive system and help to balance your blood sugar levels and get rid of those damaging sugar cravings. So I tend to include chia in any meal I can, but here is my favourite. It's a simple and delicious dessert that your family and friends will love. In order to prepare chia seeds, simply add 1 cup of liquid for every 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and mix thoroughly. Soak for about 20 minutes. You don't need to soak chia seeds overnight, but the longer you soak them for, the more you will maximise the health benefits and achieve a thicker consistency. The only time you should eat chia dry is to help ease acid re-flux as it will help to absorb the acid.
