Not only does this recipe deliver on taste and nutrition, but it also features chia seeds, tiny powerhouses loaded with benefits. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals—helping support digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. Plus, they absorb liquid and expand, giving you that thick, satisfying texture while keeping you fuller longer.
