Ingredients
  

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, shredded coconut, or nuts

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined and smooth.

    Add the chia seeds to the mixture, stirring well to ensure that the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.

      Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture.

        After the chilling time, stir the chia pudding well to break up any clumps. If the pudding is too thick for your taste, you can add a little extra almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

          Serve the pudding in bowls or cups, and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
