Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1/4 cup chia seeds: These tiny powerhouses thicken the pudding and provide a dose of fiber and omega-3s.
  2. 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder: Adds rich, chocolatey flavor without any added sugar.
  3. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice): The base of this creamy dessert. Choose your favorite dairy-free or regular milk.
  4. 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or preferred sweetener): Sweetens the pudding naturally, giving it just the right amount of sweetness.
  5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds depth and enhances the chocolate flavor.
  6. Pinch of salt: Brings out the sweetness and balances the flavors

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.
