Mocha Madness Chia Pudding
(Serves 2-3)
Ingredients:
¾ cup cold brew coffee or chilled espresso (decaf works too!)
¾ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
¼ cup chia seeds
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter (optional, but adds creaminess & protein!)
1-2 tsp maple syrup, monk fruit, or raw honey (adjust to taste)
½ tsp cinnamon (blood sugar balancing magic)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings:
✔ Cacao nibs (for a crunchy, espresso-bean-like bite!)
✔ Dark chocolate shavings (because you deserve it)
✔ Sliced almonds or crushed walnuts
✔ Coconut whipped cream (next level deliciousness!)
Instructions:
Whisk together cold brew, milk, cacao, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and sea salt in a bowl or jar until smooth.
Stir in chia seeds, mix well, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again (to avoid clumps!).
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) until thickened.
Before serving, stir again and top with your favorite extras!
Enjoy chilled as a morning boost, afternoon pick-me-up, or post-dinner treat that won’t wreck your blood sugar!
