This delicious Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding makes for a decadent weekend breakfast or wholesome dessert. Chia seeds are an excellent source of dietary fibre and omega-3 essential fatty acids which are important for managing healthy cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. Avocadoes are rich in vitamin E and beta-carotene, both potent antioxidant nutrients that help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol which helps reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
