I am very lucky to get some lovely products in the post to test and of course to taste too. So when 
These tiny seeds are a plant-based source of energy and they can help you curb those late night cravings for unhealthy foods.
They are packed with antioxidants, rich in omega-3's, fiber, protein and calcium. The amazing power of chia seeds lies in their ability to soak up ten times their weight in water which forms an almost no calorie gel coating.
They will help to bulk up your meals which will result in keeping you full for longer. Try adding them to your porridge, yogurt, dips, smoothies or even soups.
Chia seeds are also a great replacement for eggs in baking and desserts. Of course they taste delicious in my clean chia seed pudding made with coconut milk (the one in the tin), banana and cacao. That's it, 4 -ingredients and nothing else added.
The #ChiaBiaChallenge is basically all about trying chia seeds every day for two weeks, and see what difference they will make. I am more than happy to test this for you guys, so watch out for my next few posts and of course loads of recipes with chia seeds.

Love this recipe Hedi! Will definitely give it a try, now that I'm using cacao over cocoa (and I doubt I'll ever go back)!

Is cacao easy to get in supermarket? Which aisle would you find it in Hedi?
Hedi Hearts
Niamh, Tesco has it in the gluten free and special food aisle. I buy it online in bulk because it is so much cheaper and better quality. If you are struggling then use normal cocoa powder. Hedi xx

Hi Hedi. I’ve done this dessert twice now, and love it. I just wanted to check, do you chill the can of coconut milk first, and only use the solid, or do you use it at room temperature? Many thanks.

Hello Helen, awww love that you love it. No, I keep it liquid at room temperature, otherwise it would be too thick. Hedi x x x
