What are the ingredients needed for Chocolate Coffee Chia Pudding?

This chia seeds pudding is whipped up using a few humble ingredients that are easily available in any kitchen.

These ingredients are:

1. Chia Seeds:  For this chia pudding recipe, you can use black or white chia seeds. Both would work fine here. Organic seeds are the BEST.

2. Cacao powder: For this recipe, I have used a super healthy and natural cacao bliss blend. 

3. Unsweetened Coconut Milk or Unsweetened Almond Milk:  I used full cream coconut milk in this pudding recipe, but you can also use almond milk.

4. Instant coffee powder: I have added some instant coffee powder for a hint of coffee to this pudding. You can also add brewed coffee or espresso here. Adding coffee is optional though. So if you are not into coffee, then feel free to omit it from the recipe.

5. Maple Syrup: I have added maple syrup for this recipe, but you can also swap it with honey, coconut sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice.

6. Salt: A pinch of salt spruces up the taste of this chia pudding. So adding salt is highly recommended here.

7. Vanilla: A dash of vanilla adds a subtle flavor to this pudding which glorifies the overall taste, so it is highly suggested. Instead of vanilla extract, you can also use vanilla bean or paste.

8. Toppings of your choice: I used bananas, strawberries, chocolate chunks, chopped walnut, desiccated coconut, and chocolate syrup here.
