chia seed pudding

[Juicing Juli]

This is awesome and easy to make!!!
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened nut milk
2 tablespoons sweetener (brown rice syrup, maple syrup, stevia or agave)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

mix all ingredients together. The cocoa takes a bit to mix, but it will mix eventually. Leave it for 20 minutes and stir
occasionally or put it in the fridge overnight for the next day.
Yummy!!!

p.s. chia seeds are high in the omega oils!!!

Yum, thanks for this recipe! I usually use the one that blends up cashews, water, agave, vanilla and cinnamon. Yours sounds lighter using the milk instead of the whole nut. Definitely going to try this! :)

Sounds simple and yummy. Need to order chia seeds. I like that they give a nutless option by using them. I love nuts, but prefer not to have them in EVERY recipe. KWIM?

Thanks for the recipe!

As you can tell from my January Journal, I LOVE Chia Pudding :)
I make my homemade almond milk. I add 2 scoops (which I guess would be 2 TBSP) to 1 cup of Almond Milk.
I let mine sit overnight in the fridge, then I add Lucuma Powder and a chopped up ripe banana. This is my favorite dessert :)
I've also added Raw Cocoa Powder instead of the Lucuma powder and it's yummy too.

so, I only bought about a half of a cup of the chia seeds from the bulk section at W.F. Used them in one day...yesterday. My daughter came home from school asking where the pudding was. I told her it was gone. She was sad

sounds better with the lucuma powder and banana. Also, it's sooooo much better when it sits in the fridge over night without a doubt!!! Wow!!!

I love chia pudding, but I've never tried Lucuma powder before. I've heard it mentioned often in lots of recipes. What does it taste like and what are its health benefits? Thinking about ordering some!

when I purchase my bag of lucuma powder, the gal at the store said it's supposed to have a butterscotch flavor...the bag says maple. It's used as a sweetener. The nutritional section of the bag has zeros near everything except for calories...60 per tablespoon and carbs. Here's what livestrong.com says:
Nutrition
Lucuma provides 14 essential trace elements, including a considerable amount of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, while heavy metal content is low, according to the Ministry of Agriculture in Nanning, China. Lucuma powder contains 329 calories per 100 g. Per 100 g, it contains 87 g of carbohydrates, 2.3 g of fiber, 4 g of protein and 2.4 g of total fat content. It also has 92 mg of calcium per 100 g to keep your bones and teeth strong. Phosphorus is important for bone and protein formation, digestion and hormone balance; lucuma provides 186 mg per 100 g. According to My Fitness Pal, 1 tbsp. of lucuma provides 2 percent of the recommended daily value for iron, which may help stimulate the immune system and improve physical endurance.
Health Benefits
Lucuma has been used for centuries in South America for its medicinal properties. The State University of New Jersey reported a study that evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of lucuma extract on wound healing and skin aging. Results of the trial determined that lucuma significantly increased wound closure and promoted tissue regeneration. The report of the study concluded that lucuma may have anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and skin-repair effects on human skin.
