See how it doesn't say "healthy"? Yeah....
I mean, this is high in fiber! and relatively high in calcium! and there's protein in it! and in each tablespoon of Chia seeds is nearly 3 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids!!! That means it's healthy, right?? At least for a dessert, maybe?
Anyway, here is my version of Chia Pudding!
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
1/4 cup Agave Nectar (raw organic)
1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
1 tsp vanilla (alcohol free is the way to be!)
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 dash anise seed
Whisk that shit together and set it in the fridge for 2-3 hours! If you like, you can also throw it in your food processor before or after refrigeration.
As it sets in the fridge, it will become more and more gelatinous and pudding-like! (Science is cool!) Yes, the booger-like texture can take some getting used to (admittedly, I still stick to small bites of this dish, but MANY small bites), but it's super delicious and the layering of flavors is BEAUTIFUL.
(Also, it kind of looks like poop. If you haven't noticed yet, I like to make foods that look like vomit or poop or other bodily-things.)
If you split this up into four servings...
