The fiber in chia seeds is mainly soluble fiber and mucilage, the substance responsible for the gluey texture of moistened chia seeds. These fibers may help to lower LDL cholesterol and slow down digestion, which can prevent blood sugar spikes after eating a meal and promote a feeling of fullness.
Apple is also high in the soluble fiber pectin and adds heart-healthy flavanols to this chia pudding. For additional hearty-health benefits, choose soy milk which may lower Apo B levels for people with elevated cholesterol.
This quick and easy plant-based breakfast recipe was inspired by my carrot cake Blended Chia Seed Pudding as well as this popular Banana Chia Pudding recipe with walnut cream! If you prefer the texture of nonblended chia pudding, try my budget-friendly Berry Chia Pudding on this site.

🙋🏽♀️Recipe FAQs
It is safe and healthful to eat chia seeds every day. However, because of their high fiber content, eating too many chia seeds at one time may cause digestive tract issues. I recommend sticking to about 2 tablespoons per serving, especially if you are not used to a fiber-rich diet. This apple chia pudding recipe has 2 tablespoons of chia seeds per serving.
If you enjoy the texture of traditional chia seed pudding, you can stick to whole chia seeds. However, grinding them increases the bioavailability of omega-3s and may promote weight loss.
If you are serving more than a sprinkle or not mixing it through food, then it is a good idea to soak them first so they are easy to swallow. Otherwise, they can stick together and become sticky and hard to swallow.
