Hello!

As I have not published a sweet recipe for a while, I thought that the time had come to share with you this chocolate chia pudding recipe. It will delight gourmets and cocoa lovers :)!

Like most of my recipes, I created it on lazy mood and empty fridge morning. I did not have enough fresh fruit for a smoothie or oatmeal to make a porridge. That’s when I thought of this chocolate chia pudding picture from Instagram that made my mouth water so much few days earlier. I checked if I had a raw cocoa powder jar in stock. Perfect! It was there waiting for me 🙂 As this recipe is made with vegetable milk and chia seeds, it is suitable for a vegan, raw or palo diet. You can top it with fresh fruit, nut butter or cereal.

If this is not your first visit to my blog, you already know how much I like chia seeds. These tiny seeds are rich in omega-3 and fibe rand have tremendous nutritional benefits. Staple food of the Aztecs, they have the property of forming a viscous fluid when soaked in a liquid, which allows to use them to make healthy and easy to prepare desserts.

Chia pudding is my favourite takeaway snack because I can prepare the night before in an airtight container, and slip it into my handbag in the morning before leaving home.

This recipe is suitable for 2-8 people, depending whether you want to have it as a generous breakfast, or serve it in smaller servings for dessert or at teamtime.

Serves 2-8

• 500 ml soymilk
• 7 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp raw cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp peanut butter

Directions

1. Pour the soy milk in a container with lid.
2. Add the peanut butter, cocoa and maple syrup.
3. Whisk until smooth.
4. Add chia seeds. Mix.
5. Let set in refrigerator, stirring occasionally to homogenize the texture of  the pudding.

Let me know what your favourite chia pudding recipe is! Looking forward to hear back from you 🙂

Talk to you next week!
