Health Benefits
This pudding recipe contains a good source of fibre from the chia seeds. Fibre is hugely important in the diet for our digestive system, gut health, immune function and helps us to feel more full and satisfied after meals. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day though, particularly if you are increasing your fibre intake. Increasing our fibre intake without consuming adequate fluids can lead to digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, gas and cramps.
