Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Sweeteners:
- 12 tablespoons maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Transfer mixture to an airtight container, ensuring no dry chia seeds remain on the sides of the bowl.
- Refrigerate for 8-10 hours or overnight, allowing chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Remove from refrigerator and vigorously stir the pudding to break up any potential clumps and redistribute ingredients.
- Optional: For enhanced texture, let pudding sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Garnish with fresh berries, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or additional drizzle of maple syrup according to personal preference.
- Serve chilled and savor the rich, creamy chocolate pudding with nutrient-dense chia seeds.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist or use oat milk for a creamier texture.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
- For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of chocolate protein powder before refrigerating.
- Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
