Chocolate Peanut Butter Creamy Chia Pudding

 

Chia seed pudding. You either love it or hate it. It's the texture of chia pudding, right? Slimy, cold.. But I think it's delicious.

Ever since I have made my matcha and vanilla chia seed pudding, I have been eating chia seed pudding left, right and center. Waiting to take pictures of the pudding seems like a punishment to me, because I want to eat it all in one sitting.

But to all of you who hate the texture, hate the taste, but KNOW that it's good for you and WANT to like it, I have the recipe for you.

I firmly believe that my food processor can do everything. Don't have a pastry blender? Use a food processor. Want to make a smoothie and lost your blender? Use the food processor! Hate chia seed pudding? No problem, USE YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR!

Now in this Chocolate Peanut Butter Creamy Chia Pudding recipe, I am hiding two ingredients that many people can't deal with. Chia seeds and prunes. Sounds like a weird combo, no? I promise you it is perfect if you are a chocolate lover who also wants a healthy way to eat it.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Creamy Chia Pudding Ingredients

You just need 6 simple ingredients to make this easy chocolate peanut butter chia pudding recipe. All you need is:

• milk
• whole chia seeds
• creamy peanut butter
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• pitted dates
• vanilla extract

Tips

Make this peanut butter chocolate chia pudding vegan by using plant-based ingredients. ​Instead of using cow's milk us a non-dairy milk. I personally love either coconut milk or oat milk because it makes a thicker, pudding-like texture. But I have had good results using unsweetened almond milk and soy milk too.

Storage: ​store this creamy chocolate pudding in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Don't have a food processor? ​A high speed blender works just as well.

Variations

Switch out the peanut butter. ​The best part about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can use natural peanut butter, seed butter, or even cookie butter if you wanted a less healthy treat. Peanut butter powder can also be used in place of the peanut butter.

Add in some fresh fruit! Mixing in some fresh berries are a great option to make it seem more like a healthy dessert recipe. I love raspberries or strawberries best.

Top with your favorite toppings. ​I am a huge chocolate lover, so I love sprinkling some chocolate chips or chocolate shavings on top. But granola and fresh fruit are also great options.
