Ingredients
  

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 cups almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of your choice)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) for topping

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or a large jar, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the maple syrup is fully dissolved in the milk.

      Combine and Stir: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds and that they're fully submerged in the liquid.

        Let it Sit: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding.

          Add Chocolate Chips: After the pudding has set, stir in the dark chocolate chips, saving a few for garnish later if desired.

            Serve: Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips. If using, garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

              Enjoy: Indulge in your rich, chocolatey creation—perfect as a breakfast treat, a dessert, or a healthy snack!
