These cute and nutritious chia seed pudding with date caramel cups make for a great snack, breakfast and healthy dessert!
Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on this planet as they are loaded with nutrients.
They contain fiber, protein, manganese, magnesium and more.
These powerful seeds are loaded with antioxidants, are high in omega-3 fatty acids and many other important bone nutrients.
Storing them in the refrigerator will extend the shelf life of your chia seeds!
Be sure to store them in an air-tight container to keep moisture out.
To make the chia seed pudding, you will need a liquid.
I love using oat or almond milk but you can also use coconut or dairy milk to make the pudding.
Since chia seeds do not contain any flavor, I love making date caramel and layering the two.
Date caramel is so easy to make, perfectly sweet and refined sugar free.
When buying dates, look for plump and soft dates.
Medjool dates are very common in grocery stores and always a great choice!
