Servings: serving

Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tsp cacao powder
150 mL almond milk (this is 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp, approximately) - or another milk of choice
1-2 tsp maple syrup or other liquid sweetener of choice
1 banana
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp cacao nibs
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon - optional, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Combine chia seeds, cacao powder, almond milk and maple syrup in a small bowl or container. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then whisk again to ensure the chia seeds soak up the liquid evenly.
Place the chia pudding into the fridge to set, for a minimum of 3 hours or ideally, overnight (cover over bowl or use a lidded container).
To serve, top the pudding with sliced banana, peanut butter and cacao nibs, plus a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

*TO MEAL PREP: make the chia pudding, put it into your desired container and immediately top it with the peanut butter, cacao nibs and cinnamon. Leave in the fridge to set. Just before eating, top with sliced banana. The banana will go brown if you leave it in the fridge so I find it's nicest to add it later.

*You can swap the peanut butter to almond butter if you want to make this peanut-free and paleo. If you want to make this nut free, swap the almond for coconut milk and substitute sunflower butter.
