Chia chocolate puddings

Why eat raw? When raw food is heated above 45°C, the enzymes that help you absorb essential nutrients are destroyed, so enjoy these delicious "good for you" raw chia chocolate puddings. Photography by Rob Shaw/bauersyndication.com.au

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk

1/3 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon cacao powder

2 tablespoon raw honey

plus extra to drizzle

1/2 cup blueberries, plus extra to serve

2 tablespoon pistachio kernels, chopped

Method

1.In a large jug, combine milk, seeds, cacao and honey. Mix well. Set aside 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

2.Stir blueberries through. Pour evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Chill 30 minutes.

3.Serve topped with extra berries, nuts and a drizzle of honey.

Chia seeds swell to about 17 times their original size when mixed with liquid to form a soft gel. You can swap almond milk for coconut milk or water, or pureed fruit.
