Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for extra protein)
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: sliced bananas, berries, nuts, or shredded coconut

Method
 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
    Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir well, ensuring there are no clumps.
      Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again. This step helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
        After stirring, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
          Once the pudding has thickened, fold in the Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein. Mix well until combined.
            Serve the pudding in individual bowls or jars and top with your choice of sliced bananas, berries, nuts, or shredded coconut.
