Chia seeds which are also used in falooda are very healthy . They don’t have their own taste but they give an authentic look when used in the recipes. They are also good for digestion. Also called as sabza, subza, basil seeds or tukmirya.

They are also used as popular drinks in Southeast Asia.

When immersed in liquids like water  or milk for a long time, they become gelatinous. Then they can be used to prepare pudding , icecreams or shake.

In my recipe, I have soaked my chia seeds in almond milk. You can also use plain milk instead. But if you want to make it dairy free, use almond milk.  The more you keep them for soaking, more they get  gelatinous. But try to keep them soaked for at least 2 hours before preparing . browse this site

Serving :  2 Glasses

Soaking Time: 2 Hours

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups unsweetened almond milk ( I used homemade instead of store bought)

Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours.

Reserve  2 strawberries for garnishing and rest of them, chop very fine.

Drizzle chocolate syrup in the glasses and refrigerate the glasses for 5 minutes.

After 2 hours, remove the pudding out from refrigerator.

Chia seeds will look all bulged and the mixture will be very thick.

Drop in the chopped strawberries .

Garnish the rim of the glasses with the other two whole strawberries.

Enjoy your chia strawberry pudding for breakfast or as a snack.
