Chia Pudding with Layers of Fruits, Vegan - Gluten Free
Posted on April 16th, 2015
One of the healthiest desserts out there is Chia pudding. It's truly amazing that you can have a dessert and feel good about it. I have tried few different flavours and the coconut-lemon seems to be my favorite. In addition to that, mango, raspberry and kiwi play their part in this mouth watering delight. Summer is on the way and this is definitely a treat that should be included in your outdoor parties menu this season.

Interestingly… if you subtract the fiber, which may not end up as usable calories for the body, chia seeds only contain 101 calories per ounce.This makes them one of the world’s best sources of several important nutrients, calorie for calorie.
