Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
2 cups milk (may substitute coconut or other non-dairy milk)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup coconut sugar OR desired sweetener to taste
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a high-power blender or food processor. Blend or process until completely smooth. You may eat it right away, but it is best after it has been completely chilled in the refrigerator.
Benefits of Chia Seeds
Rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids (contains more than salmon!)
Easy for your body to digest and assimilate
Won't go rancid like flax seeds
Does not contain estrogen like flax seeds
High in antioxidants
A complete protein
High in calcium, iron, and potassium
Neutral taste (very easy to add to a variety of dishes)
Help keep you hydrated
Give you physical energy and endurance
Can be made into delicious, healthy, and easy homemade pudding (my personal favorite!)
