WHY EAT CHIA SEEDS?

Chia seeds are tiny but powerful. These little bitty seeds have a lot of nutritional value and contain omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, iron, and calcium.

Chia seeds are also a good source of protein. They have a delightful mild nutty flavor and are so good you forget about all the health benefits they possess.

The seeds can be eaten in a few different ways. You can sprinkle the raw seeds on yogurt, cereal or smoothies.

Another way to eat chia seeds is to add them to baked goods like muffins or bread. Chia seeds can also be soaked in water to be used in various recipes.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PROTEIN CHIA PUDDING

This is a great pudding to make and serve for brunch. I like to make it up in the early morning and it keeps very well in the refrigerator until brunch time.

STEP ONE: HEAT MILK

Place a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk to the pan and heat it.

STEP TWO: ADD ERYTHRITOL

Once the milk is hot, dissolve the erythritol into the milk. Stir to combine.

Once it has dissolved remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool off.

STEP THREE: ADD GROUND CHIA SEEDS

Now that the milk mixture has cooled off, pour it into a mixing bowl. Add the ground chia seeds to the milk. You can buy already ground chia seeds or you can grind them yourself with a food processor. You want the seeds to be ground very finely.

STEP FOUR: ADD COCOA POWDER

It is time to add the unsweetened cocoa powder (or a substitute for cocoa powder) to the mixing bowl.

STEP FIVE: ADD PROTEIN POWDER

Mix one scoop of low-carb chocolate protein powder. This helps add more protein to the recipe and also a delicious chocolate flavor.

STEP SIX: ADD VANILLA

Add in the teaspoon of vanilla extract.

STEP SEVEN: WHISK

Now that all ingredients are in the mixing bowl go ahead and use a whisk to make sure they are well-combined. The chia seeds will begin to expand and form a pudding-like texture.

STEP EIGHT: REFRIGERATE

This pudding is best served cold. Place the pudding in the refrigerator to cool for several hours before serving. When you are ready to serve add some freshly chopped walnuts as a garnish if you choose.
