Paleo blogger and cookbook author Cassy Joy Garcia takes the Fourth of July very seriously – she’s a Texan, after all!
She created these festive chia puddings as a tasty party treat for holiday celebrations. The sweet summertime berries are perfectly on theme, and the pudding is cool and refreshing for a hot afternoon outside.
“If you like tapioca pudding, I think you’ll like chia seed pudding,” said Cassy. “These would make a great dessert for a big family gathering or BBQ! Just pour them into clear plastic cups the day before the party and your dessert is done – no more thinking about it.”
