Blueberry Cardamom Chia Pudding is a sweet treat from Daily Perricone, who got it from Food 52. It’s actually based on the ancient recipes of the Aztecs and the Mayans. The dish is full of chia seeds, an amazing source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds provided a tremendous amount of fuel for the Aztecs and Mayans during arduous conquests.

This makes an excellent breakfast, snack, or dessert.
