After making nearly a dozen chia seed pudding variations in my humble kitchen/healthy dessert factory (including Strawberry Vanilla, Ginger Peach, Blueberry Lemon Rosewater, and Mango Cardamom), I noticed a pattern… every single recipe had fruit! Now, I’m not saying that’s not a bad thing, fruit is good for ya! BUT, I was missing one crucial flavor: CHOCOLATE Chia Seed Pudding.
While fruit may be good for the body, chocolate is good for the soul.
This Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding is good for your body and soul.
Oh, and it’s pretty nice on those taste buds as well.
This Healthy Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding is sweet, packed with yummy cocoa flavor and lots of vanilla to round it all out. The texture is smooth and a slight crunch in every bite. It’s the perfect treat to satisfy your health-conscious sweet tooth!
