Jars of Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding topped with sliced bananas, cacao nibs, and pomegranate seeds

Looking for a healthy dessert or an easy grab-and-go breakfast? This Overnight Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding is your answer! With just chia seeds, cocoa powder, milk of your choice, and a touch of sweetener, you can create a creamy, chocolatey delight that’s packed with fiber, protein, and omega‑3s.

Simply mix the ingredients, let it sit in the fridge overnight, and wake up to a ready-to-eat, indulgent pudding. Top with fresh berries, banana slices, or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3-5 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  • To a small mixing bowl add cacao powder (sift first to reduce clumps), maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Then add a little dairy-free milk at a time and whisk until a paste forms. Then add remaining dairy-free milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add chia seeds and whisk once more to combine. Then cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 3-5 hours (until it’s achieved a pudding-like consistency). It may also be helpful to give the mixture an extra whisk/stir once it has been in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 4-5 days, though best when fresh. Serve chilled with desired toppings, such as fruit, granola
