Recipe Notes

  • If you want that extra bite or crunch from the chia seeds, you’ll need to make your pudding in a glass jar or any sealable container and manually shake the mixture every 10 minutes for about an hour while chilling the chia chocolate pudding in between.
  • Use any nut milk you like - cashew milk makes or an extra low-cal chocolate chia pudding, while coconut milk makes it extra creamy.
  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. Feel free to add a pinch of salt and some cayenne pepper to further intensify the chocolate flavor!
  • You need a high speed quality blender for this recipe!
  • Store the chocolate pudding in the fridge for up to 3 days for optimal taste.
