Sneaky Greens Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding.

What a name on this one.

I thought about calling this “Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding.” It sounds great, but what about that healthy punch of greens!?

But calling it “Green Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding” seems a touch too healthy. Like, what if I can taste those greens? What if I can see those greens? What if this is not the delicious, creamy, chocolatey breakfast of our dreams?! (Spoiler alert: It is :)

Hence, Sneaky Greens Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding was named. It is all the flavor of chocolate, and all the health benefits of the greens.

Which, for the record, you cannot cannot cannot taste. Like wait, there are GREENS in my Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding?!

This absolute magic happens because we blend the spinach until it is broken down into a teeny tiny million-bazillion-hundred-trillion small pieces, before swirling it into the chia seeds. These tiny pieces give our bods TONS of nutrition, and our tastebuds zero flavor.

And if you are worried about texture, like the sad mornings when we don’t blend our green smoothies 100% smooth and have little floating chunks of green leaves that cling to the roof of our mouth and get stuck in our teeth, have no fear. The spinach is blended with creamy coconut milk, and buttery avocado (more vegetables!), for a super creamy no-green-fleck texture.

Just don’t be afraid to blend blend blend. Your Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding and dental floss will thank you.

This Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding, of course, has the benefit of being a no-cook breakfast. Just pop the mixture into the fridge and let it do its thing overnight. The chia seeds plump up, the pudding thickens and gets a mouse like texture. The only thing left to do is layer on the toppings.

And let’s chat about Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding topping options 101:

• Fresh fruit – like juicy, fresh, sweet SPRING fruit is hereeeeee!
• Nuts and seeds – crunch, texture, some healthy fats, come at me.
• Granola – who wouldn’t granola in this situation?
• Freeze dried fruit – my current obsession of crunchy fruit that gets sprinkled on ALL THE THINGS!

Sneaking in those greens.
