Today is my 2nd day of the anti-candida diet. This is my second time doing it, and it’s the most strict diet I’ve ever encountered because there is a therapeutic goal~to eradicate candida! Candida feeds on carbs and sugars, so my diet consists of protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat, such as coconut milk! The 1st day of my therapeutic diet was (for lack of a better term) grouchy and fatigued. I slept a lot, but by the end of the day, the detoxing was subsiding and I felt great! Now, what do I eat?! Here’s one easy treat that satisfies my desire for something sweet: Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding! It’s sweetened with an herb called Stevia, which has it’s own funky taste, but at least it’s sweet, and I’m feeling SO MUCH BETTER!
- 1 can coconut milk (light or full fat~just make sure the ingredients contain only coconut and water)
- ¼ cup organic chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp cacao powder
- 18-20 drops liquid stevia in glycerin(not alcohol)
- ½ tsp pure vanilla powder (optional)
- Place all ingredients in blender.
- Blend for 20 seconds.
- Pour into glass container or individual dessert containers.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
