This pomegranate chia pudding with a hint of ginger makes for one easy, delicious, and nutritious gluten-free & vegan breakfast, snack, or dessert!
I simply adore chia seed pudding! I find it to be one of the easiest ways to get a nutrient-packed breakfast in with very little fuss.
Chia seeds are rich in fiber, protein, omega 3 fats, calcium, magnesium, anti-oxidants, and B vitamins! They truly are magical little seeds with a wide array of healthy benefits.
In this version of chia seed pudding I incorporated fiber and vitamin C-rich pomegranate juice and arils, a hint of spicy ginger, and a touch of honey sweetness.
It is: easy to make, perfectly sweet, subtly spicy, creamy, juicy, nutrient-dense, and positively delicious!
