Whole30 Chia Seed Coconut Milk Chocolate Chia Seed Puddings
Chia seed pudding is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option. It is made with chia seeds, which are soaked in liquid until they form a gel. This gel is then flavored with various spices and sweeteners. The original chia seed pudding recipe called for almond milk, but we found that coconut milk makes a creamier and more flavorful pudding. We also added some cocoa powder to make a chocolate chia seed pudding. This pudding is rich and decadent, but it is also healthy and filling. It is the perfect way to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth.
Chia seed pudding has been around for centuries. The Mayans and Aztecs used chia seeds as a food source and for medicinal purposes. Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also gluten-free and low in carbohydrates. In recent years, chia seed pudding has become a popular breakfast and snack option for people who are looking for a healthy and filling meal. This chocolate chia seed pudding recipe is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth.
