Ingredients For Mint Chocolate Chia Pudding
Chia seeds: Filling, rich in fiber and protein, this superfood is not to be overlooked. If you don't care for the texture, you can blend this pudding in a kitchen blender, and the flavor will be more like a smooth pudding. You can use white or black chia seeds.

Pure maple syrup: My fave kind of healthy sugar substitute. You could also use raw honey, coconut sugar, or even monkfruit extract for alternatives.
Peppermint extract: This simple addition is what lifts the recipe to a refreshing realm of minty joy. You could also use spearmint extract, but it will taste more like a cool mint candy.
Step By Step Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the chia seeds, pure maple syrup, peppermint extract, dark cocoa powder, and unsweetened almond milk in a mason jar or sealable container. Stir to combine, and then seal.
- Step 2: Next, place it in the fridge for at least 3 to 4 hours (but preferably overnight). For best results, give it a quick stir 30 minutes in. Once it’s out of the fridge, it's ready! Just give it a quick stir and enjoy.
Recipe FAQs
Chia pudding can last around 4 to 5 days in the fridge. To store properly, just place it in an airtight container and you’re good to go! It’s so easy to prep and make ahead in batches (just like overnight oats).
Make sure you have it in an airtight container with a lid. Mason jars are an excellent choice, especially if you want to grab and go. Here are my favorite meal prep containers: Ultimate Guide to the Best Meal Prep Containers.
