Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 6 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or large jar, combine the unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Whisk or stir thoroughly to make sure the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and no clumps remain.
Step 3
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Step 4
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Before serving, give the pudding a final stir to ensure it's smooth and evenly mixed.
Step 6
Divide the pudding into 4 serving bowls or jars. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or dairy-free chocolate chips, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
