Coconut Chia Pudding
This super-simple recipe is a favorite in our home and something that we make regularly and serve for snack or dessert. The small amount of coconut sugar is balanced by the coconut fat, and the chia seeds absorb the coconut milk overnight, unlocking the nutrients in the seeds and lending a wonderful, creamy texture to the pudding.
Chia seeds are high in protein, fiber, vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and antioxidants. Coconut is a true superfood, with anticancer, liver-protective, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and skin-moisturizing properties. Together, these two whole foods constitute a healthy and satisfying treat.
