Banana Cream Chia Life Shake Pudding

I dream of banana cream pie! This healthy substitute really does do the trick when I am craving the creaminess of a decadent dessert, but want to stay in the boundaries of a healthy treat. By adding Shaklee non-GMO pure plant based protein this treat is elevated to health food status. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Banana Cream Life Shake Pudding (recipe by: Maria Abrahamian)

1  13.3 oz. can Organic Coconut milk (Trader Joe’s is good)

1 ripe banana

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 to 2 scoops Shaklee Vanilla Life Shake powder

1/3 c. chia seeds

Whirl coconut milk, vanilla, Life Shake powder, and banana in the blender until smooth. Pour into a jar. Add chia seeds and give it a stir. Put lid on the jar and shake well. Refrigerate. Chill for about an hour,  then give it another stir. Best if refrigerated a couple of hours. Will keep for about 5 days in the fridge.

Toppings: Top with sliced bananas. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and or nutmeg and walnuts

Chocolate Variation

Add a 1/4 c. cocoa powder to the coconut milk before you blend it. *Optional add raw cacao nibs when you add the chia seeds.
