A cheat's chocolate, almond, banana and chai pudding!

What are two things I NEED in my vegan diet? Chocolate and protein!! Hehehe

Well this pudding is easy to make and meets those needs plus is quite nutritious !

2 bananas mashed

2 TBS chia seeds

Half a cup of chocolate almond milk (my fave bend is Almond Breeze) 

Combine and leave in fridge for 4hrs to allow chai seeds to swell. Serve cold. 

Serves 2

You could easily use chocolate soy milk instead if you'd prefer too. 

This gives you all the goodness of bananas (potassium, vitamin B6 & C, Manganese, fibre), chia (protein, fibre, omega 3 & 6, calcium, iron, magnesium, antioxidants, potassium, ) and almond milk (protein, phosphorus, potassium and zinc plus anything it's fortified with) but is simply DELICIOUS and super easy to make!

Of course if you weren't cheating you could use plain almond milk and add your own sweetener (optional as bananas are already sweet) and Raw Cacao which would be even healthier, with it's amazing nutritional benefits of antioxidants and more. But that would change the name of this post! XP
