You can find chia seeds in any supermarket and they are considered the perfect protein source for vegetarians and vegans. They also contain a lot of fibre that will keep you saturated for a long time.
If chia seeds are mixed with a liquid (usually milk or vegetable milk) and allowed to stand for some time, the seeds swell extremely and become very big. The result is a pudding-like cream that is perfect for a healthy breakfast, dessert or snack.
