Kids love a chocolate shake right?! They don’t have a reputation for being the healthiest of snacks but there is a way to make your own at home without any of the usual added nasties or refined sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve added to chia seeds to my chocolate shake, often referred to as being the most nutritious foods on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are packed full of fibre, protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can usually buy two types of chia seeds; black and white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black seeds are the whole seeds whereas as white chia seeds have been de-husked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve included 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in my recipe but if your children are not used to eating them then I would recommend starting off with a smaller amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
