I know in I’ve already said I’m not much for following food trends but every once in a while I get curious to find out what all the hype is about over certain things.

Chia seeds seem to be everywhere right now, or is it just me? Apparently it’s not if they are available to buy in Southern Chile where you can’t even buy pecans (I’m missed those so much!!). They are a bit steep but for small servings every once in a while it’s not too bad. I seem to be in an avocado mood today too, don't I? Well, it's amazing. Today happens to be another one of those ridiculous food holidays, it's tapioca pudding day. Well, I've never tried and don't plan to try making it but I do like chia pudding as you all know so I did that for you!

Since I started taking in interest in cooking and baking I have played with many different diet restrictions. With a family as big as mine it seems there is always either a member of the gang or a friend with specific needs that I have enjoyed trying to meet. It’s kind of like playing Chopped or Iron Chef when you have to use and/or exclude certain ingredients and I love the challenge.

We have friends that eat gluten free, some that eat dairy free, some vegetarian, and even some vegan. These days it’s just a good idea to be familiar doing it all so I like to play around. I made this as a sugar free recipe using stevia and the fact that it’s dairy free, gluten free, and vegan happens to just be a bonus.

It’s childishly simple and quick to mix up and then it’s ready for you to grab and go in the morning. Better yet, savor and enjoy a ready breakfast with a steaming mug of jo or perhaps eat it as a guilt-free dessert after a long day of hard work.

The texture of the pudding might remind you of tapioca (or so I’ve heard. As I said, I’ve never had tapioca pudding). Some people might be weirded out by the seeds and if that is the case feel free to blend it smooth.

I have to say that there is something about these flavors together that is just YUM! You won’t feel like you’re eating something healthy even though this is like a powerhouse of superfoods in on dish!

As always, the recipe is available upon request, and I always give an upvote for the first one.
