Don't you just love summer?? Warm breezes, lazy vacation days at the beach or just taking a break from a busy schedule. When you do these activities, if you are like me, you want to eat or drink something that is healthy and is good for you. To accomplish this I like to make a variety of drinks and desserts. To keep the recipes, I have started using a variety of healthy ingredients such as Almond Breeze Almond Milk, Chia seeds, flax seeds and fruit.
As you may know, drinking almond milk has the following benefits:
"Almond milk is loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
While almonds and other nuts are fairly high in calories, almond milk surprising is not -- containing fewer calories than even skim cow's milk. Helps maintain a healthy weight/
Almond milk may help reduce your chronic disease risks, especially when used as part of a calorie-controlled, heart-healthy meal plan.
The following recipe is for a chia pudding using Almond Breeze Chocolate Almond Milk and Chia seeds, along with other natural ingredients.
Chocolate Chia Pudding (serves 2)
1 cup non-dairy milk (I use Almond Breeze chocolate almond milk)
4 tablespoons chia seeds, black or white
1½ tablespoons organic pure cane sugar (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (to give this pudding a more almondy flavor, you can substitute almond extract for the vanilla.
How to make pudding
- In a small bowl, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined. Sprinkle on the chia seeds and stir them in thoroughly.
- Pour mixture into a pint jar and refrigerate overnight, or until it reaches the desired thickness, stirring occasionally. I added about a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips! Enjoy!
