How to  make the chia seeds coco choco almond pudding.

1 bowl of  chia seeds coco choco almond pudding.

• 4 teaspoons raw cacao powder (more or less, I like it chocolate)
•  handful of raw almonds

Directions:

1. Put the coco rice milk in the cereal bowl and stir the chia seeds in it. Stir the chia seeds till it is blended with the coco rice milk, you can see it when the chia seeds are all soaked in the coco rice milk.
2. Put in the cacao powder and stir it again till all the cacao powder is nicely blend with the milk. Let it stand for 15 minutes and stir it again. Now all the chia seeds are binding whit each other and it start to getting a little thicker and looks like apudding. Leave it there for another 15 minutes.
3. When it is a real pudding you can throw the almonds on top and than you got your chia seeds coco choco almond pudding.

You can eat the chia seeds pudding every time of the day. I normally eat after a good day of shredding/training. But you can eat also before training and take it like a pre workout meal. You can save it closed for a few days in the fridge.

You can play around with this recipe if you want. For example:

• Use cashew, hazelnut any other nut instead of almonds
• Use goji berry's, hennep seeds for extra topping.
• Use soy milk, rice milk, almond/hazelnut milk for coco rice milk.
