Creamy Chocolate Chia Pudding

Ever heard of blended chia pudding? Yes, the original chia pudding became quite famous, but its texture is rather strange. So, some insanely clever foodie decided to whip it up in a blender, thus producing . . . This. Creamy, chocolatey heaven - that’s healthy enough for breakfast! The chia seeds…
