Equipment

  • Immersion blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chia seeds
  • 3 cups almond milk note 1
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder optional; note 2
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup maple syrup note 3

Instructions

  • Blend - add all ingredients including almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, espresso powder, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to the cup that comes with your immersion blender. Blend the ingredients until most chia seeds are broken down. It should become thick and creamy. You may need to work in two batches as the blending cup that comes with an immersion blender typically holds about 700 ml. Alternatively, you could use a high speed blender. *see note 4
  • Portion - portion out into jars and top with fruit of choice. We love raspberries, but strawberries, blueberries or blackberries would also be delicious.

Notes

1 - you can use almond, dairy, cashew, coconut or really any liquid you'd like for this chia pudding.
2- enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a fun twist to classic chia pudding; swap for instant coffee if you don't have espresso powder.
3- honey or low carb sweetener may be subbed
4- For a traditional chia pudding, just mix the ingredients together, portion out into containers, and let them sit overnight.
5- Nutritional information excludes fruit.
Storage
Fridge- store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy cold.
Freezer - you can freeze chia pudding if you would like to make a double batch and store it for longer. Store in an airtight container inn the freezer for up to 1 month.
Low carb
Swapping maple syrup for 4 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener reduces carb count to 25 g total carbs/22 g fiber (so 3 g net carbs).
