Ingredients
  

Chocolate Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder sifted
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Shavings optional
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Strawberries optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Meal Prep Containers
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds evenly. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and improve texture.
  3. Divide the mixture into meal prep containers, leaving room for toppings.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
  5. Serve chilled with chocolate shavings or strawberries. Add a splash of milk for a softer consistency before eating.

Notes

For a softer texture, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for thicker pudding. Freeze sealed portions for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly. Customize with cinnamon, espresso powder, peanut butter, or banana slices. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
