Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Medjool dates pitted and roughly chopped (sweetener)
  • 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk divided (vanilla, chocolate, or plain, for blending)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup natural sweetener
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract aromatic flavor
  • Pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor
  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds for thickening and nutrition

Method
 

  1. Slice each date lengthwise, remove pits, and roughly chop the flesh.
  2. Pour 1 ½ cups of almond milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Add the chopped dates and chia seeds to the mixture, whisking until all seeds are moistened. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to reincorporate any chia seeds from the surface.
  4. Let the mixture sit for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid.
  5. Add the reserved ¼ cup almond milk to a blender, then pour in the chia mixture. Blend on low, gradually increasing to medium-high until the pudding is very smooth and seeds are nearly invisible.
  6. Transfer the blended pudding into one large container or individual serving jars, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a thicker consistency.
  7. Serve chilled, topped with berries, banana slices, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings as desired.
