I have been substituting healthier ingredients into my old recipes like agave syrup for white sugar and almond milk for whole milk. I recently got a chance to try Cacao powder so I decided to create a healthy chocolate pudding out of it.
Cacao powder is so much better for you than just cocoa powder. Pure Natural Cacao is an Antioxidant Superfood Rich in Magnesium, Potassium, Iron, Copper & other Nutrients that can help keep you healthy.The minerals & flavonoids in Freedom Superfoods is highly alkalizing so it can help with sleep and energy. Some people who have tried the Cacao powder have noticed a decrease in appetite.
Healthy Dark Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 3 tblsp cacao powder
- 16 drops liquid Stevia
- 1/4 chia seed
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp agave syrup
- coconut flakes (optional: for garnish)
Directions:
- Mix all of the ingredients except for the coconut flakes and agave syrup. I use a mason jar, cover it and shake it to mix.
- Place in the refridgerator for at least 6 hours.
- Drizzle in agave and mix. If you want it thicker place back in the fridge and let sit longer.
- Divide into two dessert cups and sprinkle with coconut flakes to garnish.
The Freedom SuperFoods Cacao powder is delivered in a heavy-duty, re-sealable stand-up pouch. This makes it easy to store and doesn't take up much space. Also helps your cacao stay fresh. When you order now, know that you're protected by a 60 day, no questions ask money back guarantee - even if you return the pouch completely empty. You can purchase your own bag of cacao powder on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/cacao-powder-raw-organic-non-fermented/dp/b00ho22m2g/

That looks so elegant and delicious - not to mention so healthy. I just may try it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! May have to try that out.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! I will have to give it a try some day!
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate have a lot of health benefits. This also looks like a great dessert.
ReplyDeleteLooks So Yummy & Not Fattening I'm So There I Will Be Making For The Family!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I could eat this all the time!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks good, but I'm not a fan of coconut, so I would just be eating the chocolate, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing the same thing! I have been taking out the unhealthy ingredients and making our meals more healthy. The kids have taken to it just fine. This looks great!
ReplyDeleteHow clever to use a mason jar! Plus I must say that the first picture really made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteLooks good and I'm not a fan of coconut either. Chocolate is my fave!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with chocolate pudding. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, I will be sure to try this out. I have been trying to eat better so this will fit right in. You can't go wrong with dark chocolate and coconut!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe idea. I love the fact that it looks easy, and yet it's healthy. I might give it a try in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound rather good. My mother is old school and uses this, just not the brand. I may just have to give your recipe a try as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the chia seeds in this! I may have to sip the same.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at resealable. I love when the containers are resealable!
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly a fan of anything and almost everything with dark chocolate. Mixing it with coconut only made it better!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious. My little guy is lactose intolerant and drinks the almond milk so we will definitely try this.
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate and coconut. This looks really delicious!
ReplyDeleteI¨ve been replacing/downsizing white sugar lately too. Almond milk is very difficult to find here so I´m still using regular milk. Funny the difference one letter can make between cacao and cocoa powders. ;) I´ve only tried chia seeds in cookies so far.
ReplyDeleteAlways a good thing when you can find a dessert that is both healthy and tasty. And, hello...chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of mason jars and I love the idea of using them to shake ingredients. I usually mix in a bowl and make a huge mess.
ReplyDeleteI have some chia seeds, but I think that I'd swap out for the stevia (maybe honey?). I'm trying to get the family interested in chia seeds, so far not winning though, maybe this will do the trick.
ReplyDeleteHey, that actually looks quite tasty! Plus, it's chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! I'm always looking for healthy and yummy recipes and drinks.
