Chocolate Chia Pudding Jars

by Jacqui Little, MS, RD, CD

When I really need a sweet treat but don't want to have the insulin crash that follows, I make these! They store great and pack a huge nutrition boost with fiber!

Ingredients

Two 8-oz mason jars

¼ cup chia seeds, divided

4-6 tsp. Swerve®, granular or a few drops of liquid stevia to taste, divided

Pinch of warm spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom or cayenne

2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, divided

1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk

½ tsp. vanilla extract, divided

Pinch of sea salt

A few sugar-free chocolate chips, roasted cacao nibs and/fresh raspberries

Directions

Divide the chia, sweetener, spices and cocoa powder between the mason jars. Mix well to

break up any lumps. Use a fork to stir in milk, vanilla, and salt. Refrigerate overnight. Enjoy

chilled as a dessert, small meal, or breakfast!

Garnish with a few chocolate chips or cacao nibs if desired.
