Two Healthy Kitchens

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

This decadent Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding has sweet coconut and crunchy almonds just like an Almond Joy candy bar (but 1,000x healthier!).

It’s a super-easy meal prep breakfast for busy mornings or a delightful make-ahead dessert you can keep stashed in the fridge to satisfy those late-night chocolate cravings guilt-free!

• coconut milk • chia seeds • cocoa powder • maple syrup • almond extract • salt • coconut • almonds • chocolate chips

Ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix coconut milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond extract, and salt with a spoon or whisk, stirring thoroughly to combine.

1.

Set aside briefly and stir or whisk again after about  10-15 minutes to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Add 1/3 cup coconut and 3 tablespoons almonds and mix again.

2.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or two, or overnight. Or, for meal prep, divide it into  single-serve containers such as the Weck jars we used in our photos.

3.

 A lot of recipes I’ve seen skip this second stirring step, but it really does help to ensure you don’t end up with tight little balls of chia seeds stuck together in your finished pudding.
