Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
  • 1 cup chocolate milk Infuses the pudding with rich cocoa flavors.
  • 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt or Skyr Contributes protein and probiotics.

  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. After chilling, give it a good stir. If it's too thick, add a splash of additional chocolate milk to achieve desired consistency.

Notes

For variations, consider using almond or coconut milk, and experiment with toppings like dark chocolate chips or shredded coconut. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
