Peanut Butter Cocoa Chia Pudding Parfait

This easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding is a healthy breakfast recipe with a smooth, creamy texture packed with fiber and proteins. This chia pudding is also dairy-free, keto-friendly, and gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy it..

A chia pudding is a healthy breakfast made from chia seeds and milk that is rich in protein, like my Raspberry Chia Pudding, Tiramisu Chia Pudding, or Mango Chia Pudding. Chia seeds are high in fiber and protein, and when in contact with a liquid, they swell and create a pudding-like texture delicious for breakfast.

Chia puddings are, most of the time, vegan-friendly if they are made with non-dairy milk and plant-based ingredients. It’s similar to my Flaxseed Pudding. This chocolate and peanut butter chia pudding version is naturally:

Grain-free
Gluten-free
Keto-friendly
Vegan
Paleo
Dairy-free

All you need to make a chia chocolate pudding are:

Chia Seeds – feel free to use black chia seeds or white chia seeds. Both have the same nutrients and properties.

Cocoa Powder – I use unsweetened cocoa powder to make it easier to balance the sweetness.

Natural Peanut Butter, or for a low-fat option and a protein boost, you can use powdered peanut butter. Another great option is to use almond butter to boost the healthy fat of your breakfast bowl.

Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you like, including oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.

Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener you love like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup.

Vanilla Extract – for flavor.

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

This chia pudding chocolate peanut butter recipe is the best breakfast meal prep ever. There are two ways to make it. The classic chia pudding recipe consists of combining all the ingredients, then storing the pudding in the fridge overnight, and serving it the next day. This option is delicious, but some people don’t enjoy the slurpy bits of chia seeds in their pudding. The alternative is to grind the chia pudding by blending all the ingredients to create a smooth, creamy pudding.

Place all the ingredients in a blender or NutriBullet. Blend them on the high-speed setting until the mixture is smooth and consistent. Fill a glass mason jar with the pudding mixture and store in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.

Storage Instructions

Chia pudding must be stored in an airtight glass mason jar in the fridge. You can keep the pudding fresh for up to 3 days. Always make sure the lid is sealed to prevent the pudding from drying out and hardening on the top. If the pudding gets too thick, you can thin it out with extra plant-based milk before serving.
