Chia Chocolate n Coconut Pudding(Raw/Vegan/Low Carb/Sugar Free/Gluten Free)

I had written about the many health benefits of chia seeds in my post here. Here is a quick and easy recipe that you can use as a quick breakfast or even a dessert. This is a recipe so easy that, if you are able to stir things together you nailed this one. It involves no cooking, no use of the stove or the microwave, yet results in a delicious pudding.

Place the coconut milk, water, cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract and splenda in a glass jar with a lid. Shake well to combine. Finally add in the chia seeds and shake again to combine. Place this in the fridge for a minimum of an hour, or upto a day. The chia seeds would have absorbed all the liquid and the flavor.

Scoop out into dessert bowls and garnish with raspberries if using. You can also top it with nuts or toasted coconut.

Verdict: This was perfect both for breakfast and as a dessert. Although it seemed little, it did keep me full for a long time and I found this very refreshing and delicious. The chia seeds had transformed themselves into chocolate soaked little morsels. This recipe is so versatile that you can vary the flavorings as you choose to and make various delicious puddings.
