I never miss an opportunity to throw some cocoa in different desserts to see how they turn out. I’ve added it to cheesecake and pancakes and my latest was chia seeds.
I was so surprised by the results from the chia seeds that I knew I had to share it with you guys right away. You may ask why we have three chia pudding recipes. Why not stop at one..or even two? Well, let me give you a few facts on chia seeds to give you a better idea why we LOVE chia seeds.
Firstly, they are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids which helps protect against heart attack and stroke. They also contain a lot of fiber that can aid with weight loss and help with your digestive system. Two tablespoons of Chia seeds contain 8g of carbs and 8g of fiber totaling 0 net carbs. What can be better than that?
For a low-carb/keto diet, it is the perfect superfood and even better as a dessert!
For this recipe, I used unsweetened vanilla flavored coconut milk because I like the extra depth the vanilla brings to the pudding but you can use regular unsweetened coconut milk as well and still achieve a great tasting dessert.
For this one, you will need Swerve/Monkfruit or a sweetener of your choice, all which can be purchased on Amazon.
Now, let’s get started!
