Recipe: Paleo Chia Chocolate Pudding Breakfast Cups

Tweet

I almost didn't share this recipe... and you know why? Because I feel like chia pudding is a little... okay, a lot.... overdone in the healthy living blogger world. 

There are a million and one recipes, there's photos popping up on your instagram feed left right and centre and it's all a bit too much... 

But stay with me...

Whilst chia pudding may be a little bit overdone, I promise you this recipe is delicious - and worth trying.... and that's all to do with the topping. 

You see, chia pudding gets a little bit boring and monotonous after a while - but topping it with a crunchy delicious trail mix topping? 

Delicious.... and it will keep you full for hours.

You might have been topping your chia puddings with elaborate toppings for years, but this girl only just realised that made sense.

Sure I've added fruit and coconut cream and the occasional sprinkle of nuts - but it wasn't until I had a trail mix muesli in my cupboard that I thought to combine the too - and ohhhhhhh, mama... was it a good idea.

It's gluten free, vegan, grain free, paleo, sugar free and actually tastes good... 

So let me share the recipe with you! >> 

Recipe: Blended Chia Chocolate Mousse (Vegan)

Tweet

I love chia pudding - but my family? Not so much. 

You see, when you finish a bowl of chia pudding and spend the rest of the day picking them out of your teeth, chances are you're not going to be in too much of a hurry to make it again when you already had to be convinced to try it in the first place. 

This chia mousse, on the other hand? It needs no convincing.

But you might be thinking "hold up a second, that doesn't look so blended".... now friends, let me tell you what not to do when you make this recipe... especially when you're photographing said recipe for your blog.

Don't break your blender. Because your blended pudding will not be so blended when you try to use a stick mixer instead :P But hey, it did a pretty good job all things considered!

But look past the not so perfect pictures and try this recipe for yourself - I promise you won't regret it. 

Whether you top it with fresh strawberries or whipped cream (whipped coconut cream is awesome with this) or a dollop of your favourite nut butter, it's seriously delicious.... and you'll find yourself making it over and over again... and now you know why my blender broke :P

Recipe: Homemade Banana Pudding (Gluten Free & Vegan)

Tweet 

Forget little plastic containers, ingredients you can't pronounce and neon yellow coloured goo, this, my friends, is the real deal. 

Made with real bananas and just four ingredients, this is quite possibly the easiest dessert or snack option - and it's kind of like a big ol' bowl of comfort too ;)

If you've been reading SIL for a while, you'd know that my sister is incredibly fussy when it comes to food. This pudding recipe was actually created for her - and somehow, I managed to make something that even the fussiest of eaters calls a fave :P 

Tweet 

Once you taste it, however, there's no questioning why it was such a hit. 

This pudding is seriously delicious and perfect for all kinds of eaters as it's gluten free, sugar free, vegan, egg free, dairy free, nut free and SO easy to make.

New Years Eve is tomorrow and there's probably a high chance that many of you have been enjoying lots of meals shared with friends over the last couple of weeks!

Whilst we're off to New Zealand tomorrow, we've been spending lots of times with our loved ones over the last two weeks and have shared lots of meals.
