There’s no doubt that I have a sweet tooth. I love chocolate whether it’s milk or dark I can’t resist. With that said I always keep an eye out for healthier sweet treats. I’m a fan of Chia seeds and already include a tablespoon here and there in smoothies. So naturally, when I saw Chia Seed Pudding I figured why not. It’s now a current staple in my fridge!
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
makes 2 servings
Ingredients
1 cup coconut or almond milk
4 tbsp chia seeds
pinch of salt
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (sub 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract for non-chocolate)
Optional Toppings
Maple syrup or honey to taste
fresh fruit: banana or berries (raspberries, blackberries or strawberries)
nuts (walnuts or almond slices)
Directions
In a small jar, combine all the ingredients. Mix well, screw-on lid and refrigerate. After 30 minutes stir the mixture and allow it to sit for an additional 30 minutes.
When you’re ready to enjoy, stir in the maple syrup or honey and top with your favorite seasonal fruits, granola or even nuts!
While both are tasty I prefer vanilla made with almond milk and chocolate with coconut milk.
This looks amazing!! Totally my jam!!
this looks umm… healthy! i haven't tried anything with chia seeds yet, maybe i need to make this puddig
Good sharing, for healthy purpose, Chia seeds offer the highest volume of Omega-3, as well as addition fiber (soluble and insoluble) along with vitamins or perhaps minerals you don’t usually get whenever you take sea food oil. Chia seeds giving you long lasting energy during the day moving in deep, restful sleep during the night time. May read this article about Chia seeds at:
