Chai seeds have many nutritional benefits and are packed with nutrients that support gut, brain and beauty health and function. This is the best chai seed pudding recipe and a labor of love that has been perfected over the years. I really wanted to love chai pudding due to its nutritional benefits and the fact I love a sweet treat. From the many recipes I tried none hit the mark as being just right when it came to taste and texture. So, as I tend to do, I embarked on a journey to create the best chai seed pudding recipe that I'm sure you will also find just right!!

Notes:

My son loves chai pudding ever since he was a baby which is why I like to make a big batch of this during the week as it makes a brilliant breakfast option and ideal lunch box snack. I recommend if you're making this to share that you to stick to the recipe. Then if you want to add Nutrional powders add a serving size to individual portions so you can personalize the dish to each individuals tastes and nutritional needs.
