Mocha Chia Pudding Meal Prep
This mocha chia pudding combines the rich flavors of coffee and chocolate with the health benefits of chia seeds. It’s practically a miracle.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk, let’s not be picky
- 2 tbsp brewed coffee cold, because who’s got time for hot?
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder for that chocolatey goodness
- 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, because who doesn’t need a touch of sweetness?
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Stir thoroughly to combine. Make sure the chia seeds are well-distributed—no one likes clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight if you’re prepping for the week.
- Once set, enjoy it as-is or add your favorite toppings like fresh berries or nuts.
