Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and cocoa powder until well combined.
Add Liquids: Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Serve chilled, topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor: Use full-fat coconut milk or a combination of coconut milk and almond milk.
Make it your own: Top with sliced bananas, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
