Description
Creamy, chocolatey, and healthy! Chocolate chia pudding comes together in minutes with simple ingredients – perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup almond milk (or other milk: coconut, oat, cashew, dairy)
2 tablespoons cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Add chia seeds and whisk again so they’re fully distributed.
Let mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir once more to break up clumps.
Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a thicker pudding.
Before serving, stir gently and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate shavings.
Notes
For extra sweetness: add another drizzle of maple syrup or a few dark chocolate chips.
For a smoother mousse-like texture: blend pudding before chilling.
To make it keto-friendly: replace maple syrup with monk fruit or stevia and use unsweetened almond milk.
Store in the fridge up to 4–5 days; freeze for up to 3 months.
