Ingredients

¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup almond milk unsweetened
2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
1-2 tbsp honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Let set for 5 minutes then stir again.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Divide mixture between two bowls or jars.
Add your favorite toppings such as berries, chopped nuts, nut butter, or dark chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Notes

Use your preferred milk of choice instead of almond milk.

If your chia pudding is too thick, add more liquid to create a thinner consistency. Alternately, if your chia pudding seems too liquidy or soupy, add some more chia seeds and wait 30 minutes. If it's then too thick, add more milk and stir.

Add a scoop of protein powder or unflavored collagen peptides to the mixture for extra protein. If you're using traditional protein powder, you may need to increase the amount of liquid you’re using. I’d recommend mixing the protein powder in with milk before adding chia seeds.
