When you are excluding sugar and dairy from your diet you have limited options when it comes to desserts. These chia seed chocolate mouse pots are indulgent and healthy. The chia seeds are used to thicken the mouse and coconut milk gives it its rich and creamy taste. What’s not to like?
Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants and provide fibre, iron and calcium.
