This super thick and delicious Chocolate Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding is packed with plant-based protein and fibre and you only need 4 main ingredients. It doubles up as dessert too and is great served with some yoghurt and berries.

I love a breakfast that tastes like dessert and this pudding really does feel and taste so indulgent, yet it’s made with a handful of wholesome ingredients. The base is chia seeds, chocolate milk, cacao powder and maple syrup with some added salt for flavour. Then allow it to thicken for a couple of hours and serve with your favourite toppings – I went for thick coconut yoghurt and some berries, but anything goes. You can prep this for a few days, so you have a delicious breakfast/snack/dessert for the week, and it keeps getting better.

What ingredients do I need?

You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.

For the pudding:

Biomel chocolate milk: this is from Biomel and is naturally dairy-free, high in protein and fibre. You can use other dairy-free chocolate milks, and note that this is already quite creamy and thick so leads to a much thicker pudding!
Chia seeds: this is the magic ingredient to make the pudding thick, creamy and high in fibre and protein.
Cacao powder: to make it really chocolatey.
Maple syrup: for sweetness otherwise, the cacao is too strong! You can use honey or agave syrup, too.
Salt: for flavour.

To serve, I like to spoon on some dairy-free yoghurt and top with berries and crushed nuts or seeds.
