Ingredients Needed for Chia Pudding with Fresh Berries and Cocoa Powder
- Chia Seeds are high in fiber and are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. They are also packed with antioxidants. I used black chia seeds.

Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use 2 tbsp of the chia seeds instead of 3? Yes, you can. However, if you do, please use less milk and blended berries because if you don’t, you will not have a creamy consistency.
How long will they last in the refrigerator? 4-5 days when stored in airtight containers.
Can another kind of topping be used? Almonds, hemp hearts, nut butter, and dried fruits are excellent toppings that can be used.
