Chocolate Chia Pudding

 

I love homemade chia pudding for breakfast. I love bananas and Nutella. I found a way to combine both tastes into a dessert. My chia pudding involves only THREE ingredients…more can be added if you wish!

Base Ingredients:

1.5 Cups Chocolate Flavor Almond Milk

1/3 Cup Chia Seeds (organic if you can)

1 Large RIPE Banana or 2 small/medium

Instructions:

Mash the bananas in the container in which you will chill the pudding

Add the chia and chocolate almond milk

Stir to combine (until all chia seeds come into contact with liquid and bananas are spread through the mixture

Refrigerate still set – 30 minutes to 1 hour

Options:

Add more liquid for a runnier texture and less liquid for a thicker texture

Omit bananas if you do not like

Add crumbled cookies when serving for additional texture

Add coconut for additional texture

Use the milk you prefer (cow, camel, soy, etc)

For this recipe I experimented with garnishes:

I garnished with Enjoy Life Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies and a few extra slices of banana

I crushed two cookies and used them as a base and added the pudding on top 

The addition of the cookie added a nice crunch.
