Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.25 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk any type you prefer
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mason jars or serving containers

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour in your milk and stir well until everything is combined and there are no lumps.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and give it another stir.
  4. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (longer is better).
  5. Once it's set, give it a good stir, divide it into serving bowls, and add your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

Both black and white chia seeds work fine. Can use flavored milk for enhanced taste. Recipe doubles easily. Store for up to 5 days in refrigerator. If too thick, add splash of milk to thin.
