Chocolate Chia Pudding recipe

 submitted by my sister-in-law, Cathy M.
     Cathy says this is a delicious quick, easy and healthy recipe; and the pudding benefits stable blood sugar, increased energy levels, is a great source of protein, and is also a good source of antioxidants. 
     Add together:  1 cup plain almond milk (low sugar), 2 Tbsp. chia seeds, ½ tsp. vanilla extract, 2 tsp coconut sugar (she also suggests maple syrup in place of the sugar), 1Tbsp cocoa or cacao powder.  
     Combine all ingredients listed in a blender, or even a jar. Mix well.  Allow to sit for 1-10 hours in the refrigerator.  
     Garnish with berries or shredded coconut.
     Add more chia seeds if you would prefer a thicker consistency. Cathy says if you don’t have almond milk, you can substitute 1 cup of water with 1 Tbsp. of almond butter.  Voila!!
 Ahhhh, delicious and healthy.  What more could we ask for?
