A budino is a decadent, delicious custard-based Italian dessert - and this is my healthy spin on it. Chia seeds and coconut yogurt (but regular yogurt works too!) work together to make this luxuriously rich pudding that's chalk-full of healthy superfoods. This is a dessert you'll really feel good about eating!
