Chocolate Chia Pudding
A chia pudding basically allows you to eat dessert any time of day. It’s thick and creamy like regular pudding but the nutrition facts make it acceptable to eat for breakfast, snacks or dessert.
INGREDIENTS
-
1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
-
6 Tbsp Chia Seeds
-
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup, Honey or Sweetener of Choice
-
2 Tbsp Cocoa or Cacao Powder
-
1/8 Tsp Salt
-
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
-
Toppings of Choice: Berries, Banana, Nuts
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt into a high powered blender. Start at a low setting on your blender and progress to high. Blend until chia seeds are almost undetectable and mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed
2. Chia pudding should be thick and ready to enjoy so you can top with your favorite toppings and dive in or if you like your chocolate pudding cold, transfer to a resealable container, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to chill before eating.
NOTES
-
If you don’t have a high-powered blender your chia pudding might not get as smooth and creamy and will have the texture of regular chia pudding, similar to tapioca pudding.
