Cacao Chia Seed Pudding

Cacao Chia Seed Pudding

A Tasty Dose of Calcium

“We love chia seed puddings- raw, refined-sugar-free, decadent and filled with superfood goodness, they are such a treat!” says Green Queen.

Though tiny in size, chia seeds are supercharged when it comes to nutrients- they are full of plant protein (twice the amount found in most grains) that is easily digested by your body while ringing in very low on the calorie meter. They also offer five times more calcium than milk, are a great source of omega 3 fats and are loaded with fibre. They are also perfect as a post workout pick-me-up!

Prep Time: 5 mins | Chill Time: 6 hours | Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
