Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups almond or coconut milk vanilla-flavored is fine
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas chocolate chips, coconut flakes, berries, toasted almonds

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl add the cocoa powder and chia seeds and then mix. Using a separate bowl, add the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together.
  • Pour the liquid milk mixture into the other bowl that has the chia seeds and cocoa powder. Whisk well until you get a smooth consistency and no clumps.
  • Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours for the chia seeds to form the pudding-like texture.
  • Serve the chia pudding in individual cups and top with your favorite toppings

Notes

  • Note: if you would like to store them in individual servings, after step 3 place the bowl in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, remove, whisk again, and pour the thick liquid chia mixture into individual serving jars or containers and store them back in the fridge for 3-4 hours or until it’s thickened. Then serve and enjoy. 
  • You may use any milk of choice. Shouldn't matter.
  • Top with your favorite fruits.
  • If you would rather use agave as a sweetener you can also do that.
  • They store well in the fridge for up to 7 days.
