A quick and easy chia pudding bowl combining ripe bananas, dark chocolate, and chia seeds for a healthy, indulgent breakfast perfect for Valentine’s Day or any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 grams (about 3 squares) dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • Banana slices for topping
  • Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk. Whisk well to prevent clumps.
  2. Mash 1 medium ripe banana until smooth and stir it into the chia mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if desired, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  3. Cover the bowl or pour the mixture into a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and create pudding consistency.
  4. Before serving, chop about 20 grams of dark chocolate roughly and slice a fresh banana for garnish. Toast coconut flakes or chop nuts if using.
  5. Stir the pudding to ensure creaminess. Spoon into serving bowls or jars and top with banana slices, dark chocolate chunks, and optional toppings.
  6. Enjoy chilled directly from the fridge or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred less cold.

Notes

Whisk chia seeds thoroughly at the start to avoid clumps. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or chia seeds as needed. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. Chop dark chocolate unevenly for texture contrast. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days.
