Ingredients
  

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or nuts

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk vigorously until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved.

    Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

      Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.

        Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or pour the mixture into individual serving containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the chia seeds expand and the pudding thickens.

          Once ready to serve, give your pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Divide the pudding into bowls or glasses and add your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or nuts for an extra crunch and flavor.

              Serve chilled and enjoy your guilt-free indulgence!
