Raw Cacao Chia Pudding

1x water of a coconut

1/3 cup of Chia seeds

1 cup water

1/4 cup raw cacao powder

1 Tbs of dark agave nectar or stevia (to taste)

add the chia seeds, water and coconut water in a bowl mix well, then leave to stand for 10 mins, mix again very well to break up any lumps, leave to stand for a further 10 mins, add cacao, agave or stevia and stir well, place in the fridge over night, serve with fresh fruit yummmmmmmy
you can always play around with the amounts to suit your taste.

If you don't have readily available coconuts, water or almond milk is just as yummy xx
