Anytime you have a sweet tooth, but you don’t feel like making anything too elaborate, chia is always a great choice! Nevertheless, you can make it also festive like this Holiday Chia Parfait for example. However, there are just so many other ways that chia pudding can be flavoured and arranged. I have done quite a few myself and you can take a look on my SMOOTHIES & BREAKFAST page if you like.

Nevertheless, it is up to you whether you prefer chia pudding as breakfast or dessert. In my opinion it can be both and what’s best, it is highly nutritious. And just to make sure you know how nutritious, here is an ARTICLE where you can find out all the details.

There is one more article I have for you that explains the difference between WHITE & BLACK CHIA SEEDS. Altough, I don’t use white chia seeds for any other reason than aesthetic. In my opinion they look better, especially if there are any spices, or powders such as PITAYA POWDER added.

In this case for the Holiday Chia Parfait I added Pumpkin Spice and if I was using black chia, it wouldn’t look good at all. However, I am not sure if you have white chia available in your supermarket, but don’t worry, you can always order it from AMAZON.
