By no means did I come up with the idea of chia pudding, but tons of recipes exist. This is a common ratio of 1 part chia seeds to 4 parts liquid. Top it with whatever you’d like – fruit, chia jam, nuts, nut butter, maple syrup or honey, etc.

Salt and Vinegar Pumpkin Seeds

Do you like salt & vinegar potato chips? These seeds have that satisfying crunch as well as similar tangy flavor. The vinegar flavor is relatively light though, so don’t expect them to be as pungent as the chips! Pumpkin seeds cannot absorb as much vinegar as potatoes, so be sure to make the optional vinegar salt if you want a stronger vinegar flavor. If you can find it, you may even consider adding powdered vinegar!

For those with IBS, 1 small serving (1-2 tablespoons) is low in FODMAPs.
