Chia seeds are known to be among the most nutritious foods on the planet. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein and fiber, to name just a few. Chia seeds are also naturally gluten-free. In this scrumptious lemon cream chia pudding, I have added avocado and fresh lemon juice giving it a creamier texture and a bit of zest. The only question is, would you eat it for breakfast, snack or dessert? For breakfast, I would add fresh fruit, for a snack some seeds and nuts and dessert some tasty coconut cream. Enjoy!
