From the kitchen of Jesse Haas, CNS, LN with Love

Here's a decadent vegan chocolate pudding recipe packed with nutrients for your sweetheart's health. It contains:
  • dark chocolate, a source of the powerful antioxidants flavonoids
  • coconut milk and their medium-chain fatty acids that prevent atherosclerosis,
  • and chia seeds with soluble fiber that helps eliminate excess cholesterol and also naturally thickens the pudding. 
Most importantly, this recipe simple and takes less than 10 minutes to pull together. 

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 5-6 Tbsp chia seeds



Directions:
  1. Heat the coconut milk in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Do not bring to a boil.
  2. Add chocolate chips and coca powder. Stir until mixed and melted.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla.
  4. Slowly add chia seeds while stirring the pudding so as to prevent a chia clump.
  5. Pour into a glass or ceramic bowl, cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. 


Happy Valentine's Day!
