Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and cocoa powder until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- You can use any milk of your choice, including coconut milk for a creamier texture.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more maple syrup or another sweetener.
- For a richer flavor, top with dark chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts.
