Description
This rich and chocolatey chia pudding is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast for busy schedules. Packed with fiber and omega-3s, it provides sustained energy to get you through the morning without a sugar crash. Simply whisk the ingredients together the night before, refrigerate, and wake up to a thick, mousse-like meal that is ready to grab and go. It is a healthy, protein-rich staple that both kids and adults will love.
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and no clumps remain.
Divide the mixture evenly into 2 mason jars or airtight containers.
Seal and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken.
Serve cold with optional toppings like fresh berries, shredded coconut, or chopped chocolate.
Notes
Use cacao powder for a richer, more powerful chocolate flavor. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, stir in an extra splash of milk. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For added protein, stir in a scoop of seed-based protein powder before chilling.
