I wanted a Chocolate shake with nothing in it to taint the flavor of chocolate. I also hadn't had my chia seeds for the day. Gotta get in those omega-3s! This is what I came up with. Simple and Yuuuum. : )
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 tablespoon raw cacao powder (or 1 tablespoon depending on the chocolate power you want to unleash)
1 cup ice
Raw sweetener to taste
(agave, date syrup, honey, etc. I used a 1/2 tsp stevia.)
Let the chia seeds and water get to know each other by letting them sit in your blender for a few minutes while you get everything else together. This will make a gelly consistency. Throw everything in the blender and blend for a minute or so. You might want to add more water to get everything going. If you want it really chocolaty add more cacao powder.
Enjoy!
*You could always use raw nut milk in place of the water, that would be double yum!!!
