Chocolate Chia Pudding

Ok, so let’s get some Selenium into our body!

Brazil nuts are by far the best source of selenium (tinned tuna also) and selenium is essential for keeping a healthy functioning thyroid and immune system.

Here’s a simple recipe which makes a delicious breakfast or dessert, especially when topped with berries.

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Serves 4

½ cup Brazil nuts

2 cups water

Cheesecloth (optional)

½ cup chia seeds

¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Method

Blend Brazil nuts in water in a blender/ nutri-bullet  until you get smooth, creamy milk. If desired, strain it through a cheesecloth.

Add Brazil nut milk and other ingredients into a bowl and whisk until combined.

Let sit several minutes (or overnight) until desired thickness is reached.

Serve & Enjoy!

**Make sure you don’t go too over board with selenium supplimentation as too much could cause nausea and vomiting as well as other symptoms – long term. (The upper limit is 350micrograms, if you’re counting – but you should be ok with this recipe!! ) If in doubt, always consult your GP.
