Chia seeds are so nutritous, full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats like omega 3s! Look them up seriously, packed with essential vitamins and minerals! I love pudding and this makes a pudding that you can enjoy while nourishing your body well! By blending them with the other ingredients in high, you get a legitimately creamy texture, so that if you don’t love the gritty crunch of the seeds, you won’t even know they are there. But the best part is that they have a thickening quality when put in water that combines to form the pudding texture I loooove. This is fairly un-sweet, so make sure your banana is quite ripe and or add dates, stevia, or honey to taste. This so so easy too 🙂

You need:

1 banana, very ripe

1/8 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup carob

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2tsp cinnamon

1 pinch vanilla bean (or extract)

1/8-1/4 cup water

1 tsp stevia (optional)
Blend all ingredients on high until creamy and pour into small dishes to refrigerate overnight to solidify.

Remove and enjoy!!
