DESCRIPTION

This creamy chocolate chia pudding is the perfect nutritious dessert or breakfast option that hits the spot. It's quick and easy to prepare ahead for those busy mornings. Once chilled, the chia seeds create a perfectly thickened, pudding-like texture. Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings, making it a total crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults!

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 cup soy milk or preferred plant milk
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2-3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup protein powder (unflavored) optional

METHOD
 

  • Place soy milk, maple syrup, salt, peanut butter, and cocoa powder in a high speed blender. Blend till all ingredients are combined into a smoothie mixture.
    Optional: Add protein powder to blend.
  • Place smoothie mixture in container along with chia seeds. Mix together and let it set for 30-40 minutes.
  • Next stir once again and give it another good mix. Then divide the pudding into smaller portion jars, or simply use same bowl or container. Cover the pudding and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings - chocolate shavings, coconut flakes, raspberries (frozen or thawed), and mint.
    A dollop of coconut whipped cream or oat whipped cream would great too!

NOTES

  • Choose the Right Milk: The creaminess of your pudding will vary depending on the plant milk you use. Soy and coconut milk are great choices for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Make sure the mixture is well-blended before adding the chia seeds. This helps evenly distribute the flavors and prevents clumps.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Enhance the flavor and texture by adding toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, nut butter, and coconut flakes. For a more decadent option, try oat milk whipped cream or coconut whipped cream!
