Instructions: 1. Prepare the Chia Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Mix in the Almond Milk: Gradually pour in the almond milk while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
5. Adjust Consistency: Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. If it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chocolate chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses, and top with your favorite toppings such as sliced strawberries, raspberries, banana slices, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dollop of whipped cream.
