Chocolate Chia Pudding
March 9, 2010 – 11:45 amAverie has done it again. She’s made another recipe I have actually made twice. Not only is the Chocolate Chia Pudding delicious and reminiscent of tapioca, it contains a whopping (approximately) 12 grams of fiber per serving (each recipe makes one serving). I and many other nutritionists recommend that adults consume 35-40 grams of fiber per day. To do this, we must necessarily eat foods like whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and seeds.
This is my first experience with using Chia seeds. I happened to have a bag of black chia in my pantry that I haven’t known what to do with. After making this pudding, I will definitely keep a stock of it on hand.
Chia seeds are very nutritious — they contain omega 3 fatty acids, which we need for healthy cell membranes and to combat inflammation, and, as I mentioned, are very high in fiber. One serving of this stuff and you’re a third of the way to meeting your daily fiber needs. I’m gobbling it up for dessert.

Yay! That stuff’s so good. It’s the only thing, so far, I’ve made with my newly bought chia seeds.
