Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding ~ Delicious, healthy Chocolate pudding and easy to make with only 6 pantry ingredients
Chia seeds are all the rage now and I have finally, after weeks of searching!, found one lonely packet. It was stuck way in the back of the shelf at our local supermarket, to use in a recipe. Of course I had to try it in a dessert first 😉
The Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding is delicious and so quick to make.. pity about the chilling time, but we can not have it all.
I looked at other recipes to try and get the whole how-to etc on the Chia Seeds, but the recipes out there range from complicated to easy.
Some with a few hours chilling time to overnight, basically the same recipe but double the seeds, baked goodies to no-bake desserts, and so the list carried on.
I am happy to use this recipe again, but am also looking forward in experimenting with savory dishes.
Muffins and really whatever else looks interesting, as the list for Chia seeds being healthy is quite impressive.
You can google “Chia Seeds” and will immediately see hundreds of recipes, health benefits and all.

I love chia seed pudding. I have found one that sets up in 10 minutes. It is from the Trim Healthy Mama Facebook page. Sometimes I add cocoa powder (1 TBSP) and a capful of raspberry or orange extract. Yummy.1 cup golden flax meal . . . 1 cup unsweetened coconut . . . 1 cup chia seeds Mix in a mason jar. . . .. Use ⅓ a cup of the previously made mix and add ½ cup almond milk. Stir and add a splash of vanilla, stevia, 1-2 Tbps of protein powder. Let sit ten minutes to thicken.
