Chia pudding is my new passion

I'm all about chia seeds.  So far I've only indulged in chia puddings, although I've heard that chia seeds can be used in everything from smoothies to muffins.  For now I'm trying puddings one at a yummy time.

Last week it was vanilla coconut pudding.  Coconut flavor and I go way back so it was a easy winner.  Being ready in 10 minutes was a plus as well. This week I tried a recipe that took a bit more patience as the waiting time was over an hour. Ah, the torture.  It was worth it however.  I can't get enough of the tapioca-like texture and the creamy vanilla flavor.  I made another batch this afternoon and did twice the recipe so that I can share some with my daughter.  And so I have more to eat!
