Chia Pudding with homemade Apple Juice Caramel Sauce

I have a new obsession you guys - North Coast Organic Apple Juice.

I’ve always been aware of quality and ingredients when it comes to purchasing juice, but was never one to really tell the difference between different brands. That all changed when I tried this juice.. you could literally taste the quality - it was unlike any other juice I’ve had. It’s crisp, so flavorful, and perfectly sweet.

Often times, during evaporation processes, juices lose their flavor and nutrients. Because of this, artificial flavors and additives are added to make up for it. But North Coast Organic juices are never from concentrates. They only use apples organically grown in the USA and ensure sustainable farming practices - all of which, in my opinion, is so important to look into when supporting companies.

We were drinking this by the glass but I wanted to share a fun recipe using it! I ended up making some chia pudding and wanted a caramel to go along with it - apple juice caramel was born. You just boil the apple juice until it starts to caramelize and you’re done! You can use it on ice cream, dip fruit in it.. the possibilities are endless! You can find North Coast Organic products near you here!

I hope you LOVE this chia pudding and be sure to tag me on instagram @danishealthyeats so I can see!
