Pesto…a variation on a wonderful basic

Dave and I eat a fair bit of chia pudding because chia seeds are so good,and we do like to have a simple dessert after dinner at night. Some people like their chia pudding for breakfast.

As we both don’t need excess calories, and eat a high-plant-diet, chia pudding is a way to get plenty of daily Omega 3 fatty acids, which are good for our brains. Chia seeds swell up and provide plenty of fibre, a sense of fullness, and they are bland and so take on any flavour you add to them. 

Here is the way I currently make chia pudding. This is my foundation, my template. It doesn’t have excess added saturated fats and calories, which are often added in the form of coconut milk.
