Chia Seed Pudding

(Also great for breakfast)

Chocolate Chia Pudding

Ingredients

  • 24 g cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 45-75 ml maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 360 ml Any Plant Based Milk (or light coconut milk for creamier texture!)
  • 96 g chia seeds

Instructions

  • To a small mixing bowl add cacao powder (sift first to reduce clumps), maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Then add a little dairy-free milk at a time and whisk until a paste forms. Then add remaining dairy-free milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add chia seeds and whisk once more to combine. Then cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 3-5 hours (until it’s achieved a pudding-like consistency). It may also be helpful to give the mixture an extra whisk/stir once it has been in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 4-5 days, though best when fresh. Serve chilled with desired toppings, such as fruit, granola, or coconut whipped cream.

Ingredients 

  • 500 ml unsweetened plant milk of your choice,
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
  • 85 g chia seeds

Instructions

  • Add the liquid ingredients to a mixing bowl (plant milk, syrup, and vanilla extract) and whisk until well combined.
  • Incorporate the chia seeds and whisk again.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to eat, stir well, serve, and top with ingredients like fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, jam… Or even with a little bit of nut butter!
  • Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
