Raspberry Pecan Chia Pudding
Chia seeds benefit us with anti-inflammatory properties; they’re a healthy source of Omega 3 fatty acids, high in fiber and protein, and smoothie lovers appreciate how they thicken naturally when these tiny seeds are added to liquid. They taste almost like old school tapioca pudding.
Here’s my latest version of chia pudding. I prefer using liquid stevia to keep my sugar intake in check, but you can use whatever healthy sweetener you have in the cupboard.
Preparation
1. In a 1-quart mason jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the coconut milk and liquid stevia.
2. Shake well to combine.
3. Add the chia seeds, vanilla extract, sea salt, cacao, and berries.
4. Shake well to combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. When the pudding
thickens, it’s ready.
To serve, spoon the pudding into small bowls. Top with additional berries and seeds or nuts; sprinkle with the cinnamon.
Makes 4 servings.
