Banana Chia Seed Pudding Recipe
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
Healthy and tasty desserts that are good for you are always in season—like this tasty banana chia seed pudding. Chia seed pudding seems like a decadent and complicated item to prepare, but in reality it’s super simple and only require a few ingredients.
I love chia seeds because they’re loaded with heart and digestive-healthy fiber that’s filling and satisfying. (In fact, chia seeds make my list of favorite nutrient-dense pantry staples!) One of the only downfalls of chia seeds can be their super-high price tag. That’s not the case when you shop at Thrive Market where every item is always 25% to 50% off retail. And for a limited time, they’re offering a FREE bag of Thrive Market Chia Seeds along with a free trial membership.
