Chia chocolate pudding :) :)

in #food7 years ago

When you are a full-time student in the time of final exams Sundays and Saturdays don't really exist. However, you can always take a sweet break and prepare something chocolaty for someone you love :)

Even though I knew about chia seeds for years (and the pudding too), for some reason I've never bothered to actually buy them, talk less about making something sweet out of chia seeds. I know, I know, I should have... It is never too late!

This is how it turned out!

A friend of a friend gave me an inspiration and told me a recipe. Of course, I forgot it, and what is even worse I didn't have her contact. So Google saved the situation, actually Minimalist Baker. So, dear Minimalist Baker you don't know me, I don't know you, but you save breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts on the daily basis. Thank you! :)

I didn't follow the recipe to the letter because I never do. So instead of almond milk I used rice milk and I avoided honey.
Turned out pretty nice! I figured it would go really well with the nuts, almonds and berries. Bananas are great too!!

Inside look

I hope I inspired some of you guys just as my friend's friend inspired me. Spread the inspiration!

Love,

Ardas

It sure was! It had very natural chocolaty flavour to it. Not to sweet, just right! Plus it's perfect in the summer when it comes out of fridge :)

Looking forward to test this.

I love Chia, I have a 5.5 tub of Organic Chia made by a company called Badia that they sell for less than $16. Amazing deal, I was so happy to find it.

Nice! That's pretty sweet deal! ;)
I've just discovered them...slowly and surely falling for them. ;)

This looks really nice and I love the idea of adding rice milk as well. No doubt you enjoyed every bit of this chocolate pudding.

Thnx! It's not even about me enjoying (which I did, I wished I made some more), my true enjoyment is seeing someone else enjoying it :)

I always have a box of chia seeds in my house. I use it in my daily smoothies. Very healthy stuff!

Smart! Do you wait a little bit for chia seeds to soak up some water?

I just throw them in my Nutribullet, together with all the other ingredients

Aha great! I heard that you have to let them sit for a while, but I guess it's not so necessary :) Thnx for the advice :)

Maybe I do it the wrong way.

No, I don't think so. It's just because some people find chia seeds a little bit difficult to digest, due to their fiber content and property of collecting water, therefore sometimes they let them sit in the water for some time :)

This looks so good. I made a vanilla chia pudding a while back but can't find the recipe so will be trying this out this weekend :) thank you for the recipe and I am following to see what you come up with next.

Wow, thank you so much! I appreciate it :) I'm so glad that you got inspired :) It seems that chain of inspiration is continuing ;)
