How to Make Chocolate Chia Pudding

Combine 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) in a high-speed blender.
Blend for 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a jar or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Serve chilled. Top with your favorite toppings such as berries, nuts, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture. Enjoy as a healthy snack, breakfast, or a fun dip for apple slices!
