Silky smooth vegan chocolate chia pudding made by blending chia seeds, cocoa powder, almond butter, and non-dairy milk. This creamy, protein-packed breakfast or snack is quick to prepare and thickens beautifully after chilling, offering a nutrient-dense and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat milk)
- ¼ cup unsalted raw almond butter (or any nut or seed butter)
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Combine the chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, almond butter, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Creamy: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no visible chia seed lumps, ensuring a silky texture.
- Pour and Chill: Transfer the blended pudding into three small lidded glasses or containers. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the pudding cool and thicken, though chilling overnight yields the best texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the pudding plain or garnish with toppings like coconut whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or granola for additional flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender to achieve a smooth consistency without the typical tapioca-like texture of chia pudding.
- For the best flavor and texture, chill the pudding overnight.
- You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- Maple syrup provides natural sweetness; adjust the amount to your preferred sweetness level.
- This pudding is suitable for a vegan diet and is rich in protein and fiber.
