If you're looking for a way to boost your plant-based omega-3 and fiber intake, this chocolate banana chia pudding is a must-try. I wish I'd discovered this recipe sooner – the idea of having a healthy chocolate pudding for breakfast is simply fantastic.
What
- 12 tablespoons chia seeds
- 21 tablespoon cacao
- 31 banana
- 4200 milliliters soy milk
- 51/2 banana for garnish
- 61 teaspoon black sesame seeds for garnish
How
- 1Combine the banana, chia seeds, cacao powder, and soy milk in a blender or a tall glass suitable for a hand mixer.
- 2Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- 3Transfer the mixture to a glass or bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid. For the best results, leave the pudding to chill overnight. If you're in a hurry, 2 hours will suffice, although the pudding may be less firm.
- 4Remove the pudding from the fridge and top it with small banana cubes and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Always soak chia seeds before consuming them. They can expand up to 16 times their size, which might pose a choking risk or discomfort if eaten dry.
- Limit your daily chia seed intake to a maximum of 2 tablespoons. Excessive consumption can lead to digestive problems for some individuals.
- Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber.
