No matter what time of the month it is, I always crave chocolate. Even if it’s just a piece of dark chocolate from my stash in the fridge. Chocolate will forever be a part of my life. I say, “chocolate is one of the many blessings from God, one that should be enjoyed to it’s fullest!”
I’m here to tell you that not every chocolate treat has to be sinful. There are plenty of healthy options to get that antioxidant-rich chocolate into your diet. Take this dairy free chocolate chia seed pudding for example. Sweetened with pure maple syrup or my favorite…coconut sugar. Packed with tiny chia seeds, which are super high in omega-3’s and protein. They require no cooking and produce a magically thick and creamy pudding.
I prefer to use So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk in my chia seed pudding because it’s what I always have on hand. You could use soy milk or almond milk, if you would like. The dark chocolate shavings add another chocolate element, which is always a good thing. Fresh berries would also be lovely and quite tasty!
