Ingredients
- ¼ cup cacao powder (25 grams) or unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 5 tablespoons powdered monk fruit sweetener (or maple syrup—see note)
- 1 (13.5 FL oz/398 ml) can coconut milk or 1 ½ cup/350 ml cashew milk (a bit extra if needed—see instructions)
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds 65 grams
Instructions
- Combine cacao, cinnamon powder, and sweetener in a medium bowl.
- Stir in the milk and whisk until well combined.
- Add the seeds. Stir until well combined and the seeds are well incorporated into the chocolatey liquid.
- Place covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours or overnight (best for meal prep). The chocolate chia pudding will thicken in the fridge.
- Place the thick chocolate mixture into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you've used coconut milk, you can opt to add ¼ cup extra milk to obtain a thinner consistency (optional). You don't need extra milk to blend if you've used cashew or any other nut milk.
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as blueberries and coconut shreds, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- Helpful Tips:
- You can double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.
- You need a high-speed blender. The amount of ingredients should be enough to allow the blades to properly blend.
- Taste test the sweetness. Usually, 5 tablespoons of powdered Monk fruit sweetener gives you a lovely subtle sweetness. Only add more if needed.
- If preferred, use maple syrup as a sweetener instead. Start with 3 tablespoons and taste test. Add more only if needed.
- For garnishes, use fresh berries, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or crunchy steel-cut granola oats.
