Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
This thick and creamy chocolate chia seed pudding is made with chia seeds, nut milk, and its not-so-secret ingredient: chocolate collagen powder. Consider it your go-to for whenever those chocolate cravings kick in.
Chia seeds are a superfood rich in protein, antioxidants, and fiber; as well as potassium calcium, and iron. They are considered a complete protein, meaning that they contain all 9 essential amino acids that your body can’t make on its own.
Just one Tablespoon of these tiny seeds boasts 4 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein—which means this recipe has approximately 16 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein, not including the chocolate collagen powder!
Why You’ll Love this Recipe
- It’s quick and easy. You’ll be in the kitchen 10 minutes, tops.
- It’s a delicious alternative to conventional snacks like Jell-o, protein bars, or cereal.
- It’s free of all the things—gluten, dairy, and sugar.
Here’s What You Need
- Nut Milk: To transform the chia seeds from tough and dense to soft and chewy in minutes.
- Chocolate Collagen Powder: To give this chia seed pudding its sweet, chocolatey flavor—while giving you your daily dose of collagen!
- Chia Seeds: To hold the pudding together. Once chia seeds absorb a liquid, they become gelatinous and thicken the liquid that they’re submerged in.
Variations
- Since there are only three ingredients in this recipe, have fun with the toppings! Options include Native Nola, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, nuts, berries, and more.
