Banana Choc Chia Pudding

I am a firm believer that everything should come in chocolate flavour, so the chia pudding received a make-over and it is chocolicious!  Whip these banana choc chia puddings up for easy snacking during the week.

Why chia? They are an incredible source of combined nutrients.  They are high protein, contain a decent dose of omega-3 fats, lots of antioxidants and more calcium than milk!
