  • Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1–2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, mashed banana, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps. Optionally, top with sliced banana or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a thinner consistency, add extra almond milk before refrigerating or when serving.
  • The pudding is best enjoyed within 3 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
