In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
0.5 cup chia seeds, 2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, 0.25 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Make sure all ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, stir the chia pudding to ensure it's evenly mixed. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Divide the chia pudding into serving cups and top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, shredded coconut, nuts, or chocolate chips.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a thicker pudding, use less almond milk. For a sweeter pudding, add more maple syrup or your favorite sweetener.
