Description
Chocolate Chia Pudding is a healthy, plant-based treat combining rich chocolate flavor with the nutritious benefits of chia seeds. This easy-to-make pudding is perfect for breakfast or dessert, offering a creamy and indulgent experience without the guilt.
Ingredients
2 cups plant-based milk (about 480 ml)
½ cup chia seeds (about 74 g)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (about 21 g)
¼ cup maple syrup (about 85 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
For serving: Plant-based yogurt (optional), Shaved dark chocolate (optional), Raspberries (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine plant-based milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 10–15 seconds until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture evenly into 4 jars or small bowls.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
- Once set, top with plant-based yogurt, shaved dark chocolate, and fresh raspberries if desired.
- Enjoy chilled as a nutritious breakfast or a healthy dessert.
Notes
- For extra creaminess and natural sweetness, blend in a banana before chilling.
- If you want a nutty flavor, stir in almond or peanut butter.
- You can also top with crushed nuts like almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts for added crunch.
- For a minty chocolate version, add a few drops of peppermint extract.
- For a richer texture, try full-fat coconut milk or add coconut cream to the mixture.
