"Chia seeds are full of antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and fiber. They also are a great complete protein source. Most people wonder how to incorporate this super food into their diet. Chia seeds expand, and cause a tapioca like affect, making pudding overnight. There are many other flavors as well"

Prep: 10min. Refridgerate: 6 hours.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond or coconut are my personal favs)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder (baking cocoa will also work)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Chocolate scrapings for garnish
Directions:
- Add all of the ingredients to a large glass jar with a lid, give it a
quick stir, then put the lid on. Shake it like crazy to mix it all up.
Refrigerate until very thick and pudding-like, at least 4 hours or
overnight, shaking or stirring occasionally. Serve the pudding chilled
with whatever topping you’d like. See my suggestions below.
- Optional add ins/toppings: crystallized ginger, goji berries, nut butter, coconut, fresh citrus, bananas, nuts, pomegranate seeds, whipped coconut cream.
You can find Chia seeds at your local health food store. I use Bob's Red Mill, which is carried by most mass grocers. Let me know what variations you try!
