A rich and creamy chia pudding bowl with cocoa, vanilla, and fresh berries, perfect for a nutritious and indulgent Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup (50 g) chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or pistachios
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ⅓ cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl; whisk to distribute cocoa evenly and prevent clumping. (2 minutes)
  2. Add 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; whisk thoroughly until smooth and lump-free. (3 minutes)
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia clumps for a creamy texture. (5 minutes)
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to thicken into pudding.
  5. While chilling, prepare toppings: slice ½ cup strawberries, measure ½ cup raspberries, chop 2 tablespoons nuts, and shave 2 tablespoons dark chocolate. (10 minutes)
  6. Once chilled, stir pudding gently; optionally fold in ¼ cup Greek or coconut yogurt for extra creaminess. Spoon into serving bowls or jars and top with berries, nuts, and chocolate shavings. (5 minutes)
  7. Serve immediately or store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir in almond milk if too thick before serving.

Notes

Stir after 5 minutes rest to prevent clumping. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for best flavor. Blend mixture briefly to speed thickening if desired. Adjust sweetness to taste. Add a splash of almond milk if pudding is too thick after chilling. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 2 days. Best served cold but can be warmed briefly.
