Description

Chocolate Chia Pudding is a creamy, healthy, and easy-to-make snack that combines nutrient-rich chia seeds with the rich flavor of unsweetened cocoa powder. Perfect as a breakfast, dessert, or energy-boosting treat, this versatile pudding requires just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time. Enjoy it plain, with toppings, or customize with fruits, nuts, and spices for a wholesome delight anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)
  • 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mixing them dry first helps evenly distribute the chocolate flavor throughout the pudding.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your choice of milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir everything well so the chia seeds are fully submerged and the cocoa powder dissolves smoothly.
  3. Stir Thoroughly: Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously for at least 1-2 minutes to break up any clumps and evenly disperse the chia seeds.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and thicken into pudding consistency.
  5. Stir and Serve: Give the pudding a good stir before serving, then add your favorite toppings or enjoy it straight from the fridge.

Notes

  • Use fresh chia seeds for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste; start with less and add more after chilling if needed.
  • Mix well before chilling to prevent clumps.
  • Allow ample chilling time; overnight results in a thicker, creamier pudding.
  • Experiment with different plant-based milks for varying flavors and textures.
