Chocolate Chia Pudding Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk (almond, coconut, dairy, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in your choice of milk while continuously whisking to ensure no lumps form from the cocoa powder and everything is smoothly incorporated.
- Transfer to Containers: Once mixed, pour the pudding mixture into jars or individual serving cups for easy storage and serving.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Stir and Serve: Before eating, give the pudding a good stir to evenly distribute any settled chia seeds and create a smooth texture.
- Add Toppings: Optional: add fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup to enhance flavor and texture.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled as a healthy, delicious dessert or snack packed with nutrients.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based or dairy milk as per your preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of fresh fruit as toppings.
- Make sure to stir well after refrigeration to maintain a creamy texture.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
