Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Toppings
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until uniformly mixed.
- Ensure Smooth Mixture: Stir thoroughly to ensure the peanut butter is fully incorporated without any lumps, creating a smooth pudding base.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding.

- Serve: Serve the pudding chilled for a refreshing and creamy treat.
