- 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
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
- 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.
