This not-too-sweet chocolate dessert has a boost of fiber from chia and is topped with luscious raspberries for a classic combination. Cinnamon and chocolate are natural friends that will get along famously with a hint of tahini as well. Mix and chill this dessert in the jar or ramekin you’ll serve it in.
Powerful antioxidant
Chia seeds contain an antioxidant called caffeic acid which can help to reduce inflammation in the body. A little goes a long way with chia seeds. The fiber in chia helps you to feel fuller while also packing a nutritional punch. If you’re not used to chia, start out slowly with just 1 Tbsp per day.
- In small ramekin or 1 cup Mason jar, add chia, cacao, cinnamon, maple syrup or honey, tahini, and milk. Stir to combine and then let stand for 10 minutes before stirring again more thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients. Cover and chill in the fridge for minimum 4 hours. To serve, top with raspberries and sprinkle with cacao nibs.
