One woman commented: "More of these need to be stocked on Ocado please, I don’t have a local store that’s easy to get to!" Another said they were "rushing" to their nearest food hall to try it, as it looked so tasty. A third penned: "Ooooo! I picked up one of these yesterday and I can’t wait to try it." A fourth complimented the sweet treat, writing: "This is seriously the most delicious chia pudding I’ve ever had. Gorgeous."
The Rise of Chia Pudding
Chia pudding desserts have surged in popularity in recent years due to their convenience, mild taste, and reputation as a nutrient-dense option that can be prepared in advance and adapted to various diets. These desserts are widely associated with 'feel-good' healthy eating because chia seeds naturally provide fibre, plant-based protein, and unsaturated fats, including a source of omega-3. When mixed with liquid, chia seeds absorb it and form a gel-like texture that many find satisfying and helpful for staying fuller for longer.
Chia also contributes minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which support normal bone and muscle function, plus small amounts of iron and zinc. It is an easy way to add extra fibre for digestive health, an area where many people fall short.
Other Recent M&S Offerings
This is not the only tasty treat M&S has launched recently. They also showcased their New York Deli Dipper, featuring a mustard and soft cheese dip topped with British beef pastrami, Swiss Emmental, and parsley, accompanied by crisp and tangy cornichons for dipping.
