Ingredients
- 6 dates large Mejdool - pitted
- 1 cup milk cold (soy or almond or any type of milk works, fat free, low fat or full fat)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or 4 tablespoons (Dutch process unsweetened cocoa powder is best)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
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.
