Ingredients

Scale

Base 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, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Blend for Smoothness (Optional): For a smoother texture, use a small blender or immersion blender to process the mixture instead of whisking by hand. This helps break up any clumps and ensures a creamy consistency.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container or transfer the mixture into two mason jars with lids. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6-8 hours until the pudding thickens and chills.
  4. Add Toppings: Once ready, add toppings of your choice such as fresh fruit, nuts, or shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pudding cold as a healthy breakfast option, a satisfying snack, or a guilt-free dessert.
  6. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as dairy, almond, coconut, or oat milk, to fit dietary needs.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or substitute with honey, agave nectar, or a low-calorie sweetener.
  • Vanilla extract and salt are optional but help enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • For added nutrients, consider topping with berries, nuts, or seeds.
  • The pudding thickens more the longer it sits, so overnight refrigeration is best.
