Why This Chia Pudding Is So Healthy

This blended chia pudding is a well-balanced, nutrient-dense recipe that supports overall health:

• Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They help promote satiety, support heart health, and aid digestion.
• Medjool dates provide natural sweetness along with potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants, helping to regulate energy and reduce the need for added sugars.
• Cacao powder is rich in flavonoids, which have been linked to improved cardiovascular health and cognitive function. 
• Chocolate protein powder increases the protein content, making the pudding more filling and ideal for muscle recovery, especially post-exercise.
• Almond milk serves as a low-calorie, dairy-free base that adds creaminess without excess saturated fat.
• Cacao nibs and fresh raspberries enhance the texture and add additional antioxidants, fiber, and micronutrients.

Blended Chia Pudding Ingredients

• Chia seeds - I recommend using black chia seeds for chia pudding recipes
• Medjool Dates - gooey, pitted dates work best for this recipe
• Chocolate protein powder - adds a great protein boost while incorporating delicious chocolate notes
• Cacao powder - for a rich, chocolate flavor. Cocoa powder can also be used instead.
• Unsweetened Almond milk - substitute with regular milk, rice milk or oat milk if preferred 
• Cacao nibs - add a delicious crunchy topping
• Fresh Raspberries - the perfect topping for this decadent chia mousse, while adding a fun fruity twist!

How To Store Chia Pudding

3 Top Tips for Success

1. Refrigerate your chia pudding for the full length of time to let your mousse set

2. Adjust sweetness - If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add an extra date or a drizzle of maple syrup

3. Blend well: Blending gives this pudding a creamy, mousse-like texture that’s totally different from traditional chia pudding

4. Switch up the toppings! Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. Some of my favorites are nut butter, banana slices and fresh berries.
