COCOA FLAX PUDDING

Ingredients

½ cup (60 g) flax meal (for best results, grind whole flax seeds in a coffee grinder or a high-speed blender)

1 tblsp of chia seeds

¼ cup (20 g) cacao powder

Sweetener to taste (stevia extract or 2 tablespoons (40-60 g) maple syrup will work too)

optional: ½ teaspoon cardamom

1 cup (240 ml) almond milk (or other milk of choice)

pomegranate seeds of 1 pomegranate or any other fruit you fancy for the topping.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except for the pomegranate in a medium bowl (sweeten to taste).

Leave to stand for 15 minutes

Serve the pomegranate on top or any other fruit or nuts you fancy. I always enjoy changing the serve ware to make it look beautiful and feel like a real treat. 

Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
