Creamy Chocolate Blended Chia Pudding

1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Whisk well until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the mixture looks smooth and uniform. This ensures an even flavor and prevents clumping.

2️⃣ Chill & Thicken

1. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps forming as the chia seeds begin to absorb the liquid.
2. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results. The chia seeds will swell and thicken into a gel-like pudding consistency.

3️⃣ Blend Until Creamy

1. Once the mixture has set, transfer it to a blender.
2. Blend on high speed until the pudding is completely smooth and creamy — about 30–45 seconds. This step transforms the texture from seedy to silky and luscious.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

1. Spoon the blended pudding into cups or small jars.
2. Top with your favorite garnishes — shaved chocolate for richness, berries for brightness, coconut flakes for crunch, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra creaminess.
3. Serve chilled and enjoy as a nourishing breakfast or healthy dessert!
