Mint Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Delicious High Protein, High Fiber Treat

Chia seeds are high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. The coolest thing about them is that when added to liquid they absorb 27 times their weight in water and form a gel-like consistency! This quality makes them perfect for this pudding. I used the chia seeds in the chocolate base of this pudding, topped with a mint yogurt whip. This flavor combination will satisfy your hunger and your sweet tooth. Feel free to change up the flavor combinations on your own and add your favorite fruits, etc.

Typically when I write my recipes, I will just list a generic whey, casein or blended protein in the ingredients. However, every once in a while I come across a protein that I just can’t help but mention and Jamie Eason’s signature protein line has led me to do just that! Enjoy!

Keeping our bodies in shape is hard work… and, yes, it absolutely does mean making sacrifices when it comes to the foods that we choose to eat! However, the key is to still enjoy the foods that you love by simply recreating them into a healthy version. That’s what I’m here for! I’ll take the guesswork away from you and bring you new recipes each and every week! It’s all about being creative with good-for-you foods! As my trademark proclaims, I will always do my best to deliver to you: 100% Taste, 0% Guilt! It’s all here for you and ready to go.
