Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, or chocolate shavings for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1 cup of almond milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the milk.

- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chia pudding for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
