Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Creamy, chocolate chia seed pudding, topped with your favorite fresh fruit.  Perfect for dessert, but healthy enough for breakfast.
Course Breakfast, Dessert
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or your favorite alternative
  • 2 tablespoons agave brown rice syrup, maple syrup or stevia to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients together. It may take a little time to incorporate the cocoa, but eventually it will. In the past I used about a tablespoon of brown rice syrup because I like the flavor and then 10-15 drops vanilla stevia to make up the difference, but now I just use a couple tablespoons of maple syrup because it's very easy to mix in and tastes wonderful :)
  • After everything is mixed, cover and leave on your counter for 20 minutes before enjoying. Or you can leave it in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next day. The chia seeds continue to absorb the liquid they are in so you may need to water your pudding down with some more almond milk if you leave it till the next day. You can top your pudding with fresh fruit or just eat it plain
