Chocolate Chia Pudding
Have you been intrigued by the chia seed hype everywhere? I was curious, especially after I actually looked up the nutritional benefits for myself. With a whopping 11 grams of fiber & 5 grams of protein per serving, I figured it was time to give it a try.
Costco had the Nature's Intent brand, 2 pounds for $9.99, a great deal for organic chia seeds!
Since everything is better with chocolate, I figured I'd start with a chocolate chia pudding.
My trial recipe:
1 1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup chia seeds
4 teaspoons cocoa powder
mix the cocoa & chia seeds, add the milk and stir until no large lumps. Refrigerate 30 minutes, check consistency as you may want to ask more liquid, depending on consistency desired. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
I decided to stir in 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar afer tasting.
This was so simple, no cook and a nice healthy snack to have in the fridge. Definitely a keeper.
