  • 2

Ingredients

  • Phase 3
  • Serves 2
  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Total time: Overnight (includes chilling time)
  • 1 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia (or to taste)
  • Raw cacao nibs for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Chia seeds have gained ground as a new superfood — but the claim is more than just hype. Chia seeds are rich in fat-burning omega-3 fatty acids, and they’re packed with antioxidants. They’re fiber-rich, so they’re a great feel-full food. And chia seeds are a great way to add minerals to your diet, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, and zinc.

Another bonus: When you add liquid to chia seeds and let it sit for a bit, they create a gel. That makes chia seeds a perfect ingredient for pudding, getting you that creamy texture without adding milk or gelatin.

In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, and cacao powder until all lumps are gone. Whisk in the stevia to taste. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes (or leave it all in one bowl), and refrigerate overnight until the pudding is set. Serve chilled, garnished with cacao nibs if you like.

you can also make a yummy chocolate pudding with avocado, cocoa powder and stevia… it is a creamy dream!
