Description

A creamy, vegan-friendly chocolate peanut butter chia pudding that’s quick to prepare and packed with wholesome ingredients. This nutritious pudding blends non-dairy milk, cocoa, peanut butter, and natural sweeteners with chia seeds for a perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that is both satisfying and delicious.


Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana (optional)
  • 2 pitted Medjool dates or 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice

Thickening Agent

  • ¼ cup chia seeds


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, ripe banana (if using), and pitted Medjool dates or sweetener of choice to a blender.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients until smooth and fully combined, ensuring the dates are well incorporated.
  3. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture, and if it’s not sweet enough, add an additional date or more sweetener and blend again until satisfied with the flavor.
  4. Add Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into one or two jars or containers, then add the chia seeds and stir or shake well to combine thoroughly.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 to 2 hours, or longer for best results. You can also refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully gel and create a creamy texture.
  6. Serve: If prepared in one container, divide the pudding into servings before serving. Top with your favorite additions such as fresh fruit, vegan yogurt, granola, chocolate chips, vegan chocolate sauce, or a drizzle of peanut butter.

Notes

  • This recipe yields two servings and can be easily doubled or halved depending on your needs.
  • You can substitute the cocoa powder with other flavorings such as carob powder or omit for a plain peanut butter chia pudding.
  • Use Medjool dates for natural sweetness, but any preferred sweetener such as maple syrup or agave can be used.
  • Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, making it an excellent make-ahead option.
