Calling all chocolate lovers! We’ve got Vegan Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding on the menu today. AKA, a nutritious BLAST that tastes like a decadent dessert!
Watch this video on how to make Vegan Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding!
I’ve made this Vegan Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding as a snack, breakfast, and dessert. With extra cacao nibs, of course!
For breakfast, I love adding a banana and a little bit of homemade granola to it. Because granola bowl life is the best life, ya know?
I have something to confess. I’ve made chia seed pudding before, and I wasn’t a fan at all. To….liquid-y. To me, it was a drink, not pudding. Maybe I made it wrong? Either way, I just decided I hated it. Then the other day, my cousin texted me and said “I need a good chia seed pudding recipe!”. And I was like DONE. Challenge accepted!
*Side Note: If you have recipe requests, definitely let me know in the comments below or contact page!*
So I was determined to not make another liquid-y chia seed pudding recipe ever again. This one here is a millllllion times better! It tastes like chocolate mousse! But also a little bit like a cookie. So much chocolatey goodness, here! I even thought about freezing it to see how it would taste as chocolate ice cream. If you try this, you’ll have to let me know how it goes!

How long can you keep chia seed pudding in the fridge?
