Description
This creamy, chocolate chia pudding is a healthy, make-ahead breakfast or dessert. It’s naturally sweetened, dairy-optional, and packed with fiber, protein, and flavor.
Ingredients
1/4 cup Cacao Powder (unsweetened recommended)
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or honey/agave)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (or almond for twist)
1 cup Milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
Optional toppings: 1/2 cup Fresh Berries, 1 tbsp Chocolate Shavings, 1/4 cup Whipped Cream
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and chia seeds. Whisk until smooth.
2. Let sit for 15 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Stir gently before serving. Add toppings if desired.
Notes
Use unsweetened cocoa or cacao for a healthier option.
Almond extract creates a nutty twist.
