St. Patrick's Day Recipes 2024

Wishing you all a very Happy St Patrick's Day! Erin Go Braugh - Ireland Forever! Here are a few easy Irish recipes you may want to add to your menu: 

Banana Chocolate Chia Pudding


Working from home due to COVID-19 hasn't diminished 3 o'clock in the afternoon pick-me up chocolate cravings! I was scanning the cupboard this morning looking for something to put together  for later and I see the Raw Cacao nibs next to the Chia seeds...a plan is forming...It's been awhile since we've had chia seed pudding!

Bananas contain fiber, potassium, antioxidants, and vitamin C, while Chia seeds are loaded with fiber, calcium, protein, Omega-3s and antioxidants and Raw Cacao flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, while potentially improving cognition. That sounds like a powerhouse heart healthy combo for a 3pm snack!

This Chocolate Chia Pudding is great for those sweet snack cravings, dessert, or breakfast. Dark Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding mixed with raw cacao nibs layered with thinly sliced ripe banana...a perfect mix of healthy decadence.

Here is my recipe:
