Banana Chia Pudding

 

You know how much I love these chia seeds right? I had these chia seeds for the first time when I went to visit my family in Vietnam. I had my first experience at a street vendor were they were selling cold fruit drinks. I remember drinking this weird drink full of small jellies with a lot of fruit flavors that I was not familiar with. It just hit me today that the small jelly things were chia seeds. I have no idea how I remember this today as I was 14 years old when I had this drink. It must have been my fascination with different textures in my drink.

I love those chia seeds and I love making chia puddings as well. Here is one of my favorite recipes.
