Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk or any milk you prefer (plus a little extra if needed)
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup honey, or your favorite sweetener
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings
- Fresh raspberries
- Chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts
- Fresh fruit or any toppings you enjoy
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a bowl or a jar with a lid. Add the chia seeds, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whisk everything together until the cocoa is fully blended and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding becomes thick and creamy.
- Before serving, give the pudding one final stir. If it has thickened more than you'd like, mix in a splash of milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Finish with your favorite toppings and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Storage: Keep the chocolate chia pudding in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving, as it may thicken slightly during storage.
- Texture Tip: For a thinner pudding, simply add a little more milk and stir until smooth.
