Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Stir in the chia seeds, mixing thoroughly to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture between two small glasses or jars.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, for best results, overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, or kiwi.

Notes

I love using plain yogurt in smoothies and chia pudding for its probiotic benefits. Be sure to use plain, not flavored, as fruity yogurts contain extra sugar. Almond milk — I find that using only yogurt makes the pudding too thick, so almond milk helps create the perfect creamy texture. If you prefer, you can use water instead. Maple syrup — Feel free to adjust this amount. The banana adds natural sweetness, so you may not need much. Add more if needed just before eating. Banana — Ripe bananas work best for sweetness, but remember they have higher sugar content. Adjust other sweeteners accordingly. Cocoa powder — I recommend using unsweetened cocoa powder.
