Lent is here, which for many people means giving up something like sweets or alcohol.

Religious or not, I tend to find times like these a good reminder to revisit one’s New Year’s resolutions. We could all eat a little healthier anyway, right?

Today I’m sharing a sweet treat that’s on the lighter side. (I mean, really, what is life without dessert?) 

This pudding is a tasty and easy snack, plus you get all the benefits of eating chia seed with a little chocolate or vanilla flavor — your choice.

And yes, chia seeds are the same ones grown in Chia Pets!

You can find chia at most grocery stores these days, and you can also stir them into yogurt parfaits or cereal for a little added crunch. Overnight oats would also be delicious with chia seeds.

Oh, and they’re quite delicious! // susannah
