Cacao and almond chia pudding recipe, dairy-free

But the raw cacao powder is full of magnesium and antioxidants and the chia seeds are full of our essential fatty acid omega-3, so how could you say no? For me, adding the coconut milk really made this dish! It’s so creamy, without being too heavy. If you are a lover of chia pudding, then you have to try this one!

Ingredients:
Makes one bowl

• 150ml almond milk
• 100ml of coconut milk (tinned)
• 2 teaspoons of cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons of date syrup
• 1 tablespoon of almond butter
• 3 tablespoons of chia seeds
   

Instructions:

• First put the almond milk, coconut milk, cacao powder, almond butter and date syrup into your blender, and blend for about 20 seconds, so the mixture is nice and smooth.
• Pour the cacao milk into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Make sure to give it a good stir, as chia seeds can form clumps and stick to the bottom of the bowl.
• Leave in the fridge overnight and it will be ready to enjoy the next morning.
   

Just a note, sometimes a thin cacao skin can form on the top of the chia pudding while chilling. This is not a problem, just make sure to give the pudding a good stir. Enjoy!
