Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
The other way how to make use chia seed as a snack - pudding!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3-5 tbsp Maple syrup or Honey
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 - 2 1/2 tsp Flax seeds (optional)
- 1 1/2 cup Almond milk Original Unsweetened (your preferred brand, it doesn’t have to be as shown in the photo or you can have light coconut milk for creamier texture – depending on your preference!)
- 1/2 cup Chia seeds
Instructions
- To a small mixing bowl add cacao powder (sift first to reduce clumps), maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and mix to combine. Then add the dairy-free milk at a time and whisk until paste forms. Once it forms, add remaining dairy-free and mix until smooth.
- Add chia seeds and mix once more to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 3-5 hours (until it achieved the pudding-like texture). 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, yogurt or coconut whipped cream.
