Chocolate Chia Pudding

Sweet tooth pleasure

Did you know that chia seed is native to Mexico? Chia makes an excellent replacement for eggs in baked goods, is highly nutritious and a high protein superfood. It’s an important part of ancient Mexican and Mayan diets and translates to “strength” in Nahuatl. That’s for good reason as chia has more Omega-3’s than salmon, may help regulate blood sugar and is a great source of calcium. This chia pudding recipe really satisfies my sweet tooth and I’m happy to say that my son loved it, too. This is a healthier dessert choice since it does not contain any processed sugar. The cacao nibs give it a great texture and the berry toppings add a nice contrast. Feel free to add more milk if needed for a lighter texture. Coconut milk would also be delicious.
