Description
This delicious chocolate chia pudding is easy to make with only 6 ingredients. It’s thick, naturally sweetened and the perfect healthy make-ahead breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, coconut, or oat)
- ½ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp date paste or stevia (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Rest & Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
- Serve: Stir once more before serving.
Notes
- You can top the pudding with different ingredients like berries, nuts, chocolate chips.
- Along with chia seeds, use of other seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds.
- Stir multiple times: Before you place your chia pudding in the refrigerator to set up, make sure you give it a good stir! I like to stir initially and then a second time about 5-10 minutes in. This breaks up any clumps of seeds and makes sure all of the seeds aren’t resting on the bottom with the liquid on top!
