Oh man, if the 80’s knew about they’d be freaking out…

Combine the products in memorable commercials like: Ch-ch-ch-chia (Chia Pets) and Jell-o pudding (shout out to Bill Cosby), put them in a mason jar, shake them around and, BOOM: you’ve got Chia Pudding.

Chia seeds got their moment in the sun a few years back when they were touted as a super food for long distance runners in the best selling book “Born To Run”.  Since then they have become a health-nut staple.  These powerful little seeds expand in liquid and can be made into a simple, delicious, energizing treat.

It only takes about 2 minutes to make, let it sit over night in the fridge and you’ve got your self one heck of a snack, breakfast or dessert.
