Servings:
1I 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. : )
Ingredients:
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.)
Preparation:
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!!!

1. I made it without the ice,
I made it without the ice, and just used a shaker cup (I didn't want to be forever scraping the chia seeds out of my blender!) and let it sit 5 minutes. It's gooey and I needed a spoon, but it's not half bad. :)
And I also used a little cinnamon, because I like it! :)

3. I love this recipe! I added
I love this recipe! I added a few things and froze it in popsicle molds. I added lucuma and mesquite to help sweeten. I am trying to cut way back on sugars. I used a combination of dates and stevia too. Dee-licious. Thank you for the great idea!
