Overnight Chocolate Chia Mousse
A marriage made in heaven: Chocolate & Chia. Not only does one complement the other, but they both contain antioxidants and are just super nutritious.
Chia seeds contribute to good digestive health and are full of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for healthy brain function. There is strong evidence suggesting that eating chocolate may help prevent heart disease. Flavanols have been shown to lower blood pressure and improve the function of your heart, veins, and arteries.
