Main Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds Look for high-quality organic chia seeds for the best flavor and benefits.
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice) Almond milk is a fantastic dairy-free option; oat or coconut milk can also be used.
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder Use a high-quality cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor.
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice) Adds a lovely caramel note; honey or agave syrup are alternatives.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for maximum flavor.
pinch salt Enhances all flavors.

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
When ready to serve, give it a good stir, and enjoy chilled. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or coconut cream if desired.

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients to achieve a well-blended pudding. Store in mason jars for easy portion control.
