Acai and Strawberry Chia Puddings

As regular readers of the blog will know, I very much enjoy dessert. Managing a healthy lifestyle with a love of dessert can be tricky, however, so I do my best to create indulgent, delicious sweet treats as well as healthy, light and fresh options. My Acai and Strawberry Chia Puddings are mild, low in sugar and make a lovely dessert, morning tea or sweet snack. You can add extra maple syrup if you like things sweeter or leave it out entire, and feel free to experiment with fruits and flavours of your choice!
