Description
This delicious chia seed chocolate pudding is a healthy dessert option that is easy to make and packed with flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (sub low-fat Greek yogurt or Skyr for more protein)
- 1 cup milk (any)
- 2 – 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or grated orange zest) (optional)
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 – 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and lump-free. Take a moment to fully dissolve the cocoa so the pudding tastes evenly chocolatey.
- Add 4 tablespoons chia seeds and whisk well for about 30 seconds. This helps prevent clumps and ensures the pudding thickens evenly.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge, either in the bowl or divided into jars, overnight.
- Stir and serve cold. Give it a quick stir before eating and add toppings like fresh berries, banana, nuts, peanut butter, or a drizzle of honey if you like.
Notes
- This pudding can be made up to 2 days in advance.
