Carrot Cake Chia PuddingLately I’ve seen that chia puddings are super fashionable, at least in the healthy food blogs. And some fitness magazines claim chia pudding as a superfood. The problem is that the photographs they use, don’t look very appetizing, they even look a little been dull. I saw an amazing recipe for chia pudding that really encouraged me to finally prepare this treat: Carrot Cake Chia Pudding Cake. Who does not like carrot cake? Carrot Cake Chia PuddingBut it is definitely not the first time that I use chia seeds. I like to sprinkle chia on salads, add it to my smoothies or put a tablespoon of chia seeds to my yogurt, but I had never tried a pudding. After tasting it, now I understand why so many food blogs have one or more recipes of chia puddings. CarrotChia2If you haven’t heard about chia, here are some of its amazing benefits. These seeds contain protein (with all the important amino acids), Omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, fiber, significant amounts of potassium, antioxidants (apparently three times more than berries) and enough iron. Amazing for a super small seed, right? And in this recipe you have to add all the benefits of carrot… CarrotChia5I really liked the result. For me, it is a very healthy treat, very fresh, perfect for those hot spring days. The carrot cake flavor is unmistakable (and delicious!). Perfect for when you desire something sweet and delicious, without the guilt. Another advantage is that it takes so little time to prepare and you can leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. CarrotChia3
