Sweet Tooth Trickery

-Dedicated to all my sweet tooth people trying to be good-

Sometimes the need for something sweet creeps upon you like a festering little fly that won’t go away.  You try to ignore it, but it is literally flying in front of your face.  I also feel this way when I’m stressed and there is a lovely plate of cookies sitting in our work break room, or when I grocery shop and walk past the glorious bakery filled with sugary goodness.  I don’t think these feelings are something that will stop happening so, what do I do?

I TRICK MY BRAINNNNNNNNN!!! Yup, that’s right.  I fool myself.

There are going to be recipes you try that will never actually be the same as the real thing.  However, I have found the winning recipe that will end all your sweet tooth cravings and extra perk….it has healthy all-natural ingredients!

Chocolate Overnight Chia Pudding

Ingredients include:

-1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

-1/3 cup chia seeds (I used Mamma Chia Brand)

-2 to 5 tbsp of either raw natural honey/agave

-1 1/2 cups of almond breeze (I get unsweetened to keep sugar intake low)

-A pinch of cinnamon powder for taste

To make:

-Mix all ingredients in a bowl (whisk works best)

-Refrigerate overnight

-DONE! Ready to eat the next day.

It is so simple, and very tasty!  My last batch I made, I added a little light whip cream and sliced strawberries to the individual serving and it was like ordering a dessert at a restaurant.  Say farewell to your sweet tooth cravings!

Stay sweet,

The Mod Maven
