This dessert is loaded with goodness. Chia seeds have a laundry list of positive benefits. They're packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. They contain a perfect balance of essential fatty acids: 30% of chia seed oil is Omega-3 and 40% is Omega-6 oil. They can also absorb 10 times their weight in water, so they're great for keeping our bodies hydrated, too. To top it all off they can help those looking to lose weight because they prevent the absorption of some of the food (and calories) we eat due to the gel that's formed when wet.
