Recipe: Choc-Orange Chia Pudding

DID YOU KNOW? Chia seeds are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein & antioxidants. They promote better recovery by reducing chronic inflammation associated with high intensity and high volume training. Chia seeds also decrease exercise-induced muscle damage and promote muscle-protein synthesis.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 250mL milk
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup  (optional)

​Method

1. To a mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk until combined*. 
2. Divide mixture into 2 glasses. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours to allow time for it to set).
3. Enjoy :)

*Don't want to whisk? You could alternatively add all ingredients into a blender and blend until combined.
