In the Hamptons, there is a breakfast pudding made from chia seeds that is gaining a cult following. Chia seeds are believed to be a complete protein (1 serving = 5g protein), rich in calcium and iron, good-for-you essential fats, fiber and antioxidants. They are also low in calories (1 tablespoon = ~50 calories), and when combined with water (or preferably milk), form a creamy gelatin pudding (they are estimated to absorb ~10 times their weight in liquid). Here is a simple and fruity chia seed pudding recipe.
