Chia seeds are tiny yet mighty powerhouses bursting with benefits for heart health (lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol), digestion and managing weight. They're a great source of fibre, Omega 3 and antioxidants plus magnesium and calcium. And this quick and simple pudding is a healthy sweet treat or delicious breakfast topped with yoghurt, berries, nuts, seeds or, as pictured, with my apple and cinnamon compote.
