Want dessert but on a diet? On a diet but tired of boring sweets? Not in a diet but not a huge fan of super sweet desserts (if you are then check these banana foster cupcakes)?

Then this is the perfect food for you!!!

I found chia puddings recently, and only saw them as a breakfast thing. I really like them usually eat them with blueberrys and some jam. But recently I started looking at them as a healthy dessert.

Think this sounds weird? How do you eat your chia seeds?

Well I made Banana foster, then used it for Banana cupcakes…ate a whole lot of it. Felt guilty but still had some banana foster left. So…how to eat it without felling guilty? Well if I just put a spoon on it I’d eat 1000 kcal in just banana caramel, couldn’t make more sugar/flour option for it, so….what about chia pudding I tough.

And it turned out amazing. I mean It’s like a perfect “non guilty” dessert. You have your healthy chia pudding made with your favorite milk, but then, on top you just add some banana foster slices. Not too much, just enough to kill all your cravings. PERFECT

Here’s my basic Chia Pudding recipe. You can make it with any milk or beverage you prefer. I like mine with almond milk if I’m just adding fruit, as the almond milk is sweet so it helps giving it more flavour. In this recipe has the banana foster is super sweet I did it with plain old cow milk. But it’s up to you
