Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3 cups vegan yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon cocao powder
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • sliced bananas or chocolate optional toppings

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grab two small mason jars and set them aside. Then grab 2 small bowls and fill each with 1 cup of vegan yogurt. 
  2. Mix the Vanilla Layer: Into one of the bowls, stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Give it a good stir to ensure the seeds are well incorporated. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another stir. This helps the chia seeds to start absorbing the yogurt and form a gel-like consistency.
  3. Mix the Chocolate Layer: Into the other bowl, one of the bowls, stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and the cacao powder. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a smooth, chocolatey mixture.
  4. Create the layers: Into the mason jars, layer the vanilla, chocolate, and 2 tablespoon of peanut butter one at a time. Repeat until the jars are full. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup.
  5. Let it Set: Place your jars into the fridge and let them set for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight if you can. You can enjoy it after 15 minutes but it will not be as thick.

Notes

  • If you want to eat the Chia pudding right away you can, after about 15 minutes the yogurt will be thick however the best results will be seen after 2 hours.
  •  
  • Fridge:
  • Your chocolate chia seed pudding will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure it's stored in an airtight container to keep it fresh. If you've added any toppings, you might want to store those separately to keep them crunchy.
  • Freezer:
  • Chia pudding also freezes well for up to a month. If you're planning to freeze it, remember to leave out the peanut butter and maple syrup until you're ready to eat. When you're ready to enjoy your pudding, just defrost it in the fridge overnight, then add your toppings in the morning.
  • Remember, the key to a great chia seed breakfast recipe is to make it your own. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your perfect chia pudding!
