A surprisingly easy but delicious treat loaded with nutrition!

Notes
I enlisted the help of Sharon Shiner, personal fitness chef and HKC to share her favorite creative use of chia seeds. The kind I'll be using are from The Chia Co and can be found at GNC. Delicious!!!
GiryaGirl: I've been sent 10 tons of chia seeds, what to do what to do?!
Sharon: Chia pudding! It's totally yummy. The texture takes some getting used to, but otherwise it's killer.
Instructions
1. Mix chia seeds and coconut water and let them sit for about 10 minutes. One of the properties of the seeds is that they absorb liquids, forming a gel. This gel becomes the "pudding".
2. Stir in the sweetener and pinch sea salt.
3. Top with berries, coconut and zests.
That's it!!!
