Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding is so healthy, it can be eaten anytime of the day!

After breaking my ankle awhile back, chia seeds have become a daily part of my diet. I’ve always kept them in my pantry, but now I include them in my daily smoothie.

They are nutritional powerhouses. They’re high in fiber and omega 3s. They also contain a decent amount of calcium and magnesium, which have both been on my radar since my fracture.

Making a Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding was a no-brainer since it is one of my favorite flavor combinations. A dark chocolate bar with peanut butter spread on top or chocolate chips mixed into peanut butter and eaten by the spoonful is the way I roll with desserts.

I don’t like anything that’s too sweet as a norm, so the combination of sweet dark chocolate with savory peanut butter hits the spot.

If you have never had chia seeds before, this is a great recipe to try them for the first time. Chia seeds become gelatinous when you add liquid to them. They make a wonderful pudding, jam, or substitute for eggs in baked goods.

If this is your first time trying chia pudding you’ll definitely want to blend the pudding in a high speed blender or Nutribullet to get the creamy consistency you’re used to in a pudding.

You can make it without blending also, but for some people it takes some getting used the texture.

Chia pudding is so healthy it can be eaten anytime of the day. Even when chia pudding has sweetener, the sweetener goes into your system slower because of the protein and fiber.

Chia pudding is incredibly versatile. Since the seeds don’t have a lot of flavor, they take on the flavors you add to them. Soak them in coconut milk and add a little vanilla extract for a rich coconut flavor.

Add some tropical fruit for a Tropical Chia Pudding. Add some cacao and spices for a Mexican Chocolate Chia Pudding.
