How to Make Cocoa-Chia Pudding with Raspberries

This easy chia pudding recipe is made just like overnight oats: mix all of the ingredients together, then refrigerate overnight. Here are tips on how to make it:

Use the Right Ratio

We recommend using 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for every 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk or other nondairy milk. This ratio will give you the best pudding consistency.

Stir It Well

Make sure to stir the mixture until all the chia seeds are incorporated into the almond milk, breaking up any clumps of seeds. When chia seeds absorb moisture, they thicken and gel. If the chia seeds are clumped together, this prevents the pudding from properly setting. Stir the mixture a few times so that the chia seeds are suspended in the almond milk and not settled at the bottom of the bowl.

Refrigerate It Overnight

For the best results, cover and refrigerate the chia pudding for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days. This gives the chia pudding enough time to thicken to the right consistency.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
