Chocolate Chia Pudding

Chocolate Chia Pudding is an easy 2 ingredient healthy breakfast option. You just need chocolate milk and chia seeds!

I’ve gotten into a bad habit lately.

Mug cakes.

Every night.

They’re kind of spongy and gross but they’ll do at the end of the night when you’ve been eating salads and almonds all day and all you can think about is cake.

I’ve been topping them with whipped cream and sprinkles but I ran out of whipped cream and was so desperate that I actually scraped the icing off some cookies.

I’m sure I looked like an absolute maniac.

So I’ve been trying to come up with other things I can have at night to kill my sweet tooth and this chocolate chia pudding seems to do the trick. I’m not a pudding person but the chia seeds add loads of texture. I’ve been topping it with bananas and a spoonful of maple almond butter – ugh, so good.

This calls for only 3 ingredients and it couldn’t be easier. I usually make some in the morning and then the chia seeds work their magic all day so that by evening, it’s thickened up and pudding-like.

Ingredients

• Chocolate milk – use dairy or non-dairy, depending on what you prefer. I like almond milk but any will work.
• Chia seeds – you can find these at most large grocery stores. They’re in the baking aisle in my stores but you may also find them in the “healthy foods” sections.
• Honey or brown sugar – this is optional. If you want it a bit sweeter, use these. If you think chocolate milk is sweet enough, skip it.

How To Make Chocolate Chia Pudding

• Combine. Stir together all ingredients until well combined.
• Chill. Chill for at least a few hours before serving.

How Long Is It Good For?

Chocolate chia pudding is good for up to 5 days. Make sure to store it in the refrigerator. I like to prep these for the week and store them in mason jars so that when I need one, I can just put some fruit on top and take it with me.
