Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seed Pudding (Use almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.)

  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Agave Syrup (Optional for added sweetness.)
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest (For a refreshing flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Shavings (Use 70% cacao or higher for a healthier option.)
