Vanilla Chia Coconut Pudding

Vanilla Chia Coconut Pudding

I was flipping through my Women's Health magazine and there was a section that covered coconut recipes! I saw this and decided to make it.  To my surprise, it was delish! Very light! You could add cinnamon if you wanted to.  I had this with blueberries and raspberries.  It takes less than five minutes to make it, BUT it needs to be in the fridge for at least a couple hours.

I did a blog posting about Chia Seeds if you want to read about the health benefits.  Here is the recipe that was posted in the Women's Health magazine.

Chia Seeds

Trader Joe's now has Chia Seeds!!!! This week, I've been using Chia instead of Flax seeds.  With one TBSP, Chia provides 6g of fiber, 3g of protein, and 2.9g (this is pretty precise- not 3.0?!) of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Even better, the Chia Seeds from Trader Joes are sustainably grown and free of chemical pesticides!

I use it in my smoothie, but you could also add it to yogurt, salads, baked goods, and it goes on!

Try it and let me know what you think about Chia Seeds!
