8 Fruit-Packed Chia Seed Puddings You Must Try This Summer

Is there anything more enjoyable than dipping your spoon into a chilled, creamy and yet healthy and light dessert during summers? Of course not! And if the dessert has a good addition of summer fruits, then even better, right? If you are craving just such a dessert during summertime, then here’s the perfect answer: Chia Seed Pudding! Here’s why. 

Chia Seed Pudding is literally the easiest dessert in the world. Technically, all you need to make this one is chia seeds and milk. The latter can be toned milk, full fat milk, yoghurt or even non-dairy milk options like almond milk, oat milk and coconut milk. This apart, you can add your choice of toppings and sweeteners. What makes Chia Seed Pudding the perfect dessert option for summers is the fact that there are plenty of sweet, seasonal fruits that you can add to the dish.  

In fact, so sweet and refreshing are summer fruits that once you add them, you won’t even need to add any extra sugar or artificial sweeteners to the Chia Seed Pudding. What you will get as a result are a whole range of fruity, summery Chia Seed Pudding varieties that will not only refresh you, fill your tummy and satiate your taste buds, but also prevent any unnecessary weight gain after eating sugary and fatty desserts.
