Choc Chia Pudding - 6 Ways

This is one of my go-to desserts, it’s the perfect little thing if you’re feeling like a little chocolate something. One thing I love about this recipe is that you can adapt it in so many ways to change around the flavours, anything from choc mint to mocha! I must admit, my favourite way is nice and simple without any added extras, probably because of my pure love for decadent chocolate flavours!

 Serves 1 to 2

2 heaped tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons cacao
1 tablespoon cacao nibs
80ml milk of choice
Drizzle of maple syrup, optional 

Optional flavour variations
