Chia Pudding

I tried chia pudding for the first time less than a year ago. Before then I didn’t even know what chia seeds were. After my first bite I was hooked. They reminded me of tapioca. I read the ingredients on the pudding I bought – coconut milk, almond milk, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries and almonds. With the few number of ingredients I figured it might be easy to make and I was right.

Ever since I’ve learned how to make chia pudding I can enjoy it whenever I please. I usually have it for breakfast, but it also makes a great clean and healthy dessert or snack.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Divided into four jelly jars.

Ready to go into the fridge.

I topped mine with strawberries, blackberries and slivered almonds.

Ready to be devoured :)

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Bites

A lot of people on Instagram have been discussing the urge to refrain from snacking or binging on unhealthy food. I am a total snacker and have a major sweet tooth, which isn’t helpful at all when it comes to being healthy.

However, instead of eliminating snacking and sweets from my diet I’ve found different healthier versions to replace the so good but so bad for me stuff.

One snack I recently played around with are these peanut butter banana chocolate bites. I was so happy with the way they turned out and the whole family loved them.

I refrigerated them after they were complete, but next time I will freeze them since hubby had mentioned more than once that they’ll probably taste even more better that way.

This is also a great snack for kids. Baby boy couldn’t get enough!

Chocolatey goodness. I used a Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar - 85% cacao
