Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1-2 tsp Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Optional: Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Step 1: Combine Ingredients In a jar or small bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, peanut butter, sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit), and vanilla extract. Step 2: Mix Well Thoroughly whisk all ingredients together to ensure even distribution and prevent cocoa powder clumps. A small whisk works best. Step 3: Refrigerate Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture. Step 4: Stir and Check Consistency After chilling, stir the pudding well. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of additional almond milk to achieve your preferred consistency. Step 5: Add Optional Toppings Sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips on top for added flavor and texture. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Serve the chocolate peanut butter chia seed pudding cold as a delicious and healthy low-carb breakfast or dessert.
