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!

    This is the perfect go to for me to have ready in the fridge when I want a little dessert. I keep coming back to this recipe because it is so nutritious and super delicious too. When I’m being extra carb conscious, I use a monk fruit maple syrup or other sweetener and it works just great.

    Looks good. When you say you can use regular yogurt, can you use Greek yogurt?
