Chocolate Chia Breakfast Pudding

Who says you can’t have dessert for breakfast? This chocolate chia pudding is basically a guilt-free treat that moonlights as a morning meal. Stir together chia seeds, plant-based milk, cocoa powder, Medjool dates, and a splash of maple syrup the night before, and wake up to a rich, creamy pudding ready to go — no cooking required. Pile on fresh raspberries, banana slices, and crunchy granola for a breakfast that feels indulgent but is secretly achieving all your nutritional goals.
