Chia Chocolates

Published on Clean Plates

Recipe by Dr. Taz Bhatia

Thanks to chia seeds, these chocolates have enough protein, healthy fat, and fiber to make a great breakfast or snack. They provide stable energy, without spikes or slumps that you get from sugary cereal or candy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1⁄4 cup chia seeds
• 1⁄4 cup cacao powder
