Scale

Chocolate Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (45g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice (30g)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a container or medium bowl, add the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and salt (if using). Whisk everything thoroughly to combine and ensure the cocoa powder is well incorporated.
  2. Blend (Optional): For a smoother texture, transfer the mixture to a small blender or use an immersion blender to process the pudding instead of whisking by hand. This helps break up the chia seeds for a creamier consistency.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container or divide the mixture into two mason jars and cover tightly. Place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours until the pudding becomes chilled and thick.
  4. Add Toppings: Once set, add your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola for added flavor and texture.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your chocolate chia pudding as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert. It’s delicious served cold.
  6. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding refrigerated in a sealed container for up to five days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Try experimenting with different types of milk, like almond, coconut, or oat milk, to customize the flavor and nutrition.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the maple syrup or your sweetener of choice accordingly.
