Tasty Thursday

I've been on a chia seed kick lately, so when I saw this Mango Coconut Chia Seed Pudding, I knew I had to try it.  For those of you who haven't formally met the chia seed, it's quite the multi-tasker.  In addition to being high in non-animal omega 3s, it's a great source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.  And yes, it's also the seed that gave rise to the chia pet craze a decade ago.
