Even though I don’t include dessert recipes in the meal plans for my free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them from time to time! There are plenty of delicious alternatives out there, and here is a great solution for anyone who is missing chocolate pudding.

Chia seeds are the super healthy ingredient here that really brings this recipe into the PCOS-friendly kingdom. As well as making the pudding nice and filling, chia seeds are one of the few non-seafood foods that have a high ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids (only flaxseeds have a better fat profile). They also top the list of high fiber foods coming in at a whopping 34%!

  • Vanilla extract
  • Dates

As a bonus, this dessert is absolutely amazing for your gut health as any regular chia seed connoisseur will attest to.
