Description

This Chocolate Chia Pudding is so decadent it feels like you're having dessert for breakfast, but it's packed with superfood benefits.

Ingredients

1 cup milk (any kind, I use whole milk)
1 cup greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp maple syrup
0.5 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 tbsp cocoa powder (I used 1 tbsp cocoa and 1 tbsp dutch processed dark cocoa)
1-2 tbsp peanut or almond butter (optional)

Toppings

peanut butter or almond butter
banana slices
your favorite granola
roasted almonds or any other crunchies that you’ve got!

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl or jar, combine the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
2
Add the chia seeds and whisk until they are evenly distributed.
3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
4
Scoop into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. Get creative and Enjoy!!!

Note

You can easily adjust the sweetness and richness—add more maple syrup for a sweeter dessert or stir in nut butter for a creamier, more indulgent version. Both regular and Dutch-processed cocoa work great here.
