Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 361kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large very ripe banana
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups any milk I used unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
Mix-ins:
- 1 large banana sliced
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add banana and chia seeds. Mash with a fork until well combined. Add milk and vanilla extract; whisk until well mixed and no lumps appear.
- Pour half into a glass container and cover. Add maple syrup and cacao powder to remaining half and whisk well. Pour into another container with a lid. Refrigerate both for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve: in 3 bowls or glasses layer equally both chia puddings with mix-ins.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate assembled and covered for up to 5 days.
- Use cocoa powder in place of cacao powder. Both produce a rich chocolaty flavor, but cacao is processed at a lower temperature, retaining a bit more nutrients.
- If it's too thick by the time you serve it, thin it out with a little splash of milk.
