INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds
  • 2 cups Almond Milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ripe Bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt (or dairy-free)
  • 1 cup Granola
  • Optional garnish: Chocolate shavings, berries, or nuts for garnish

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 2

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until the pudding thickens.

Step 3

Once the chia pudding is ready, start layering in serving glasses. Begin with a layer of chocolate chia pudding at the bottom.

Step 4

Add a layer of bananas in a circle around the glass and then a layer of yogurt to keep the banana layer pressed against the glass.  Follow up with a thin layer of your favorite granola.

Step 5

Repeat the layers until glasses are filled. 

Step 6

Top with chocolate shavings or berries for an extra touch.  Serve immediately or store in thefridge for a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
