    Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Seed Pudding

    How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Seed Pudding

    This pudding is decadent enough to be a fancy dessert for two, or light enough for breakfast or a midday snack. Chia seeds are a diabetes superfood. They are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids—great for blood sugar management and heart health. When combined with liquid, they form a gel creating a pudding-like texture. To make this vegan, use a non-dairy milk like almond or soy.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Mix cocoa powder, Splenda or stevia, and powdered peanut butter together, and incorporate well so there are no lumps.

    3. Whisk in the milk and vanilla. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
