Chocolate Coffee Chia Pudding




This pudding can provide you with the necessary nutrients to start your day for breakfast.  It has minerals, vitamins and antioxidants derived from its various components including the power food chia seeds.  It also has coffee and cocoa which will definitely wake you up early in the morning with their caffeine content.  It can also be served as an elegant dessert for your next dinner topped with fruit or nuts.  If you use decaffeinated coffee, this is also wonderful and healthy after school snack for your kids.  It is simple to prepare and comes together quickly with ingredients right from your fridge or pantry.  No cooking is required.

Chocolate Coffee Chia Pudding

4 servings
  • 1 cup non dairy milk (I used cashew milk)
  • 1 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 4 dried apricots, sliced
Place all the ingredients except the apricots in a blender (I used a Vitamix) until they are thoroughly mixed. Transfer the pudding into four containers. Garnish with apricot slices.  Enjoy.
