Greek delight chia seed pudding with fresh raspberries
Use either black or white chia seeds, as both offer the same nutritional benefits and create a thick, gel-like texture once soaked overnight.
Chia seeds may be tiny, but they pack in fibre, plant-based omega-3 fats, and protein, which help support digestion and keep you feeling satisfied. When soaked, they swell and create that thick, spoonable texture without any effort. Paired with Greek double cream plain yoghurt, you get calcium and protein with a rich, tangy flavour that feels indulgent without being heavy. Recipe compliments of Lancewood.
