Nothing makes me happier than when something healthy tastes scrumptious. And I mean really, really scrumptious. Lip-smackingly good.
I mean, a bar of Dairy Milk is all well and good, but I feel almost smug as I sit there grinning, chocolate smeared around my face, safe in the knowledge that what I'm eating is healthy.
Anyway, when I was very kindly sent some gorgeous Japanese Blossom Bowls from online boutique Izzy's Attic to review, I knew exactly what I wanted to make to test them out. This recipe for Coconut Chia Chocolate Pudding has quickly become one of my new favourites. In fact, I would happily eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all my snacks in between. It's that good.
I find it incredible that this creamy, chocolatey pud could ever be dairy and gluten-free, as well as being free from refined sugar, but it is. And I'm pretty happy about that.
By now, you all know about my coconut addiction, and Chia Seeds are right up there. As a fantastic source of Omega-3, fibre and protein, they are a great addition to any diet - simply stir into smoothies, porridge or yoghurt and stay full for hours!

Anyway, this Chia Chocolate Pudding couldn't be easier to make. Simply mix up all the ingredients and leave in your fridge for four hours, or overnight...it's that simple. I do spoil you, don't I?
