07 Jul Chocolate Chia Pudding

Not only does this satisfy your sweet tooth – it gives you a host of amazing nutrients. Chia seeds are mainly fibre which doesn’t require insulin or raises blood sugar.  Its digestible carb content (1g in 2 tbsp of chia seeds) makes chia a low-carb friendly food.

Chia seeds are not only rich in nutrients, omega-3s, antioxidants and fiber but also soo easy to prepare. Chia is mainly composed of soluble fibre which slows the process of digestion – keeping you full and at the same time helps your body absorb nutrients while helping lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Pretty impressive right?!

Instructions

1. Add chia seeds to the container and add the milk. Mix well with a whisk or fork to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
2. Add in vanilla, maple syrup and cocoa powder. Mix again. Place the lid on and keep refrigerated for 4 hours or overnight. I like making a few at a time to have on hand.
3. Top with fruit and enjoy!
