Have you heard of this super seed that's become a staple in every hippie's diet lately? I don't exactly consider myself a hippie (although I secretly want to be), but I jumped on the bandwagon and have fallen in love with chia seeds. I put them in everything: oatmeal, salads, yogurt parfaits... And having been recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes (again, just like during my first pregnancy), I went bonkers when I tried this chia seed pudding recipe that was low-carb. My sweet (very sweet) tooth was skeptical at first, but I tried it and I LOVED it. You should try it too.
Here is what you'll need: (and you can adjust volumes of everything to suit your taste and needed amount... it's that easy and flexible)
1.5 c coconut milk (or coconut-almond milk)
5T chia seeds
some honey
some vanilla
Mix it all together and put in a fridge for 4-5 hours. The mixture will thicken, because the seeds have this amazing power to absorb liquids better than your drunken uncle.
Before serving, garnish with... well, anything you want, really. I LOVE it with raspberries, coconut shavings, and nuts, yes, all together.
ENJOY!
