Ingredients
  

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh berries (for topping)

Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and everything is well combined.

    Let It Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.

      Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.

        Serve: Once set, stir the pudding again to ensure even consistency. Divide the pudding into serving bowls or glasses.

          Garnish: Top with fresh berries and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

            Enjoy! Savor your guilt-free treat that’s rich, chocolatey, and packed with nutrients!
