Ask anyone who knows me…I’m suuuper health-conscious…

HA HA, ok ok, settle down. I’m kidding. BUT, I am trying to be better (good luck, right). However, there is one thing I will never give up…and that’s dessert.

That’s right. Dessert is everything to me. 

So, if I’m going to attempt to “be better” – I’m gonna need somethin’ sweet…

Cue, CHIA SEED PUDDING.

Chia seeds are wonderful for you, packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more Omega-3s than salmon! Plus, they expand and gel in liquid – filling up that giant abyss I call my stomach!

As a BIG tapioca pudding fan…I knew this might just be crazy enough to work…

I’m still experimenting, with this whole “healthy thing” in general. And I’m (barely) excited to take you all on this (not-so) crazy ride. Stay tuned for some new, tasty, health-conscious recipes.

After all, summer is right around the corner!

This tasty and super-healthy pudding was SO easy to make. To make it work, all you need is coconut milk and chia seeds. But, I’d recommend some flavor – healthy doesn’t have to equal boring! I added vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. I didn’t have maple syrup or honey on hand, but I could imagine that would be D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. Or you could add some fruit for some extra health/tastiness. Cocoa powder could have been amazing too – can’t go wrong with chocolate pudding!

Check out the basic-level recipe below, but stay tuned for some new and exciting enhancements to come!
