Recipe Steps

There are a gazillion chia pudding recipes on the web, but that’s probably because it’s just so versatile. I like this version because it tastes like a chocolate-covered strawberry!

The basic ingredients for making chia pudding are very basic. For this dairy-free version, I like to use unsweetened almond milk mixed with the chia seeds. Maple syrup adds a little bit of sweetness, without being overly sweet.

And, of course, cocoa powder or cacao powder is included to give that decadent chocolate flavor.

FAQs

Can I use coconut milk instead of almond milk?

Yes, but your chia pudding will end up tasting very rich and the nutritional information on my recipe will not be accurate.

What kind of chia seeds do you recommend?

I like using an organic chia seed.

How long does chia pudding last?

Prepared chia pudding will keep in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

What kind of jars did you use?

I use Weck jars with lids. They are awesome!
