Description
What I love about this pudding is that it tastes totally indulgent (hello, chocolate and peanut butter combo!) but it’s actually packed with good stuff like fiber, protein, and omega-3s. Plus, it takes like 5 minutes to throw together, then just hangs out in the fridge doing its thing while you sleep. Morning you will be SO grateful!
Ingredients
Scale
For 2 servings (though I often double this because it disappears fast):
The Base:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (I use almond milk, but any milk works!)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (go for the good stuff if you can)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (the drippy kind with just peanuts and maybe salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch of salt (trust me on this one)
Optional Mix-ins:
- 1 tablespoon chocolate protein powder (for extra staying power)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (adds a lovely warmth)
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (for extra chocolate bits!)
Topping Ideas:
- Sliced banana
- A few extra chocolate chips
- Drizzle of peanut butter (warmed slightly so it’s pourable)
- Chopped peanuts
- Sprinkle of sea salt
- Fresh berries
- Dollop of Greek yogurt
