Orange Almond chia seeds pudding – Vegan and No bake
About:
Guess what! This dessert is also easy to make and very quick to whip up. You only need a few ingredients and you’re good to go. Most times the orange flavor is overpowering; on other instances, I feel the acidity alters the chocolate aroma (and not in a good way); but I can’t deny that when done right, the silky dark chocolate brightened by citrus fruit can be an outstanding combination. Worthy of any palate.
Health benefits:
Chia seeds (the so-called “Aztec superfood”) being a good source of protein, fiber and an array of precious nutrients. There’s evidence suggesting that chia seeds can reduce blood pressure because of their content of soluble fiber.
They’re also among the richest plant source of Omega-3. Chia can control blood sugar and may have great benefits for diabetics.
