Chia seeds are used as a thickener in this healthy chocolate pudding recipe.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar or demerara sugar or brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• Dark chocolate shavings, optional

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, add orange juice, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. About 3 minutes.
