This is NOT your average chia pudding. It’s like deliciousness on crack! The base is our spiced coconut latte, which by itself is a dreamy indulgence with notes of real vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of nutmeg then we add chia seeds, which ups that silky, creamy texture.
Then we add toppings! Toppings vary with each batch, but our most popular version is our from scratch toasted coconut, with our homemade coconut caramel sauce, and you can ask for a sprinkling of hemp seeds to boost the nutritional profile/benefit.
Chia Creme Pudding
This week's version is made with Fe'i banana. This special bright yellow fleshed banana is rich in carotene, and has a neutral flavour. We love to add it when it's available because its dense flesh makes our Chia Creme Pudding even richer and creamier, without adding the (cloying) flavour of a regular banana. This version also features notes of citrus from fresh ortaniques.
Chia seeds are
- nutrient dense
- the best plant source of Omega 3
- rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre
- a rich source of quality plant protein because it has all 9 amino acids.
- rich in minerals (iron, copper, calcium, selenium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus).
- very filling
- help to reduce insulin resistance and improve blood sugar control
- rich in antioxidants
