On Sunday I brought you 35+ Mint Madness Chocolate & Mint Recipes in preparation for today. Do you know what today is?! National Chocolate Mint Day! Who even knew there was such a day? Last month for National Peanut Butter Day I made for you my Copycat Jamba Juice Chocolate Peanut Butter Moo’d Smoothie. I’ve teamed up with my blogging buddies once more this month to bring you all things chocolate mint! We’ve made for you ten different recipes to help you celebrate.
I have a mild obsession with chia seed puddings if you haven’t noticed. It all started with my Fruit-On-The Bottom Chia Seed Pudding and my collection is quickly expanding {haha, get it..chia seeds expand when combined with any sort of liquid!} from there. I then brought you my Strawberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding and then Pomegranate Coconut Chia Pudding. I knew this would be the perfect way to enjoy your chocolate and mint without any guilt whatsoever. Guilt-free recipes are easily becoming my favorite recipes to make! Not only does this fantastic recipe that I have for you today not have ANY refined sugars, it also is made without ANY artificial food dye: BONUS! This is a must make in my book, I hope you’ll give it a try!

This looks so good! I just bought chia seeds for the first time, but haven’t used them yet. So you don’t cook them first, they just absorb the liquid, right?
