Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2.5 cups soy milk
- 3 Medjool dates, pitted
Toppings
- 1/2 cup dairy-free soy yogurt
- 2 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cacao powder, optional vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, pitted Medjool dates, and soy milk. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy, ensuring the seeds and dates are fully incorporated.
- Chill the Pudding: Pour the blended mixture into jars or containers of your preferred size. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding, though chilling overnight enhances texture and flavor.
- Add Toppings and Serve: When ready to eat, top the pudding with dairy-free soy yogurt, fresh raspberries, and chopped pistachios. Enjoy this rich and satisfying chocolate chia pudding as a healthy breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Vanilla protein powder is optional and can be omitted for a pure plant-based, protein-light pudding.
- For best texture, allow the pudding to chill overnight to fully hydrate the chia seeds.
- Feel free to substitute soy milk with other plant-based milks like almond or oat milk.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more dates or a natural sweetener if desired.
