Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup — sweetener quantity up to you
  • ½ -3/4 tablespoon unsweetened cacao
  • 200 ml almond or any milk of choice — I used a touch less than a cup

Instructions
 

  • To a bowl or mason jar, add the chia seeds, maple syrup, cacao and stir. Add the milk and whisk really well, wait 15 minutes for it to thicken and whisk well again.
  • Stirring it twice will prevent clumping. Refrigerate until it thickens anywhere from 2- 8 hours or until it reaches desired texture. Once it’s thick you can now blend it for 30 seconds and pour it out.
  • You can top it off with additional sweetener or any toppings that you like. You can definitely prep these and make a bigger batch as it will last 3-4 days in the fridge. Enjoy.

Notes

You can use any unsweetened milk like oat, cashew, almond, coconut, etc. Feel free to use maple syrup, honey or agave. Any liquid sweetener will work. Cacao or cocoa powder both work as well or you can use a scoop of chocolate protein powder too.
