Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

One small jar of chocolate chia pudding: plant-based milk, cocoa powder, chia seeds and a little low-calorie sweetener, stirred twice and left in the fridge overnight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (choose one with 1 gram or less carb and 8 to 10 grams protein)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons low-calorie sweetener (e.g., Splenda or any low-calorie sweetener)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Pour the plant-based milk into a bowl.
  2. Add the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and low-calorie sweetener to the milk and stir well.
  3. Wait about 10 minutes and stir again to prevent clumps.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a cup or mason jar and refrigerate overnight.
  5. The next day, the chia seeds will have gelled the pudding, making it ready to eat.

Notes

The second stir after 10 minutes is the step that keeps the chia seeds from settling into a clump at the bottom. This is a small portion on purpose: many chia pudding recipes serve larger jars with extra toppings, which adds carbohydrates and calories.
