Description

Discover the perfect combination of flavor and nutritional value in our velvety chocolate-nut chia pudding. This is not just an ordinary dessert – it's a true energy bomb that works well as a nourishing breakfast or a healthy post-workout snack. The thick, gel-like consistency of chia seeds combined with the creaminess of banana and peanut butter creates a dessert with an incredibly satisfying texture. The deep, rich flavor of cocoa is masterfully enhanced by the addition of freshly brewed espresso, which brings out the best in the chocolate. The sweetness comes solely from the ripe banana and optional maple syrup, allowing you to adjust it to your own preferences. The pudding is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and rich in protein, fiber, and healthy omega-3 fats. Served in a clear glass, topped with fresh raspberries and crunchy nuts, it looks incredibly appetizing and elegant.

Preparation steps

1

In a high-power blender, place the peeled, ripe banana (you can break it into smaller pieces), add peanut butter, scoop in the protein powder and cocoa. Then pour in the almond milk, cooled espresso, vanilla extract, and optionally maple syrup. Add a pinch of salt. Blend everything on high speed for about 60-90 seconds until you achieve a perfectly smooth, uniform, and slightly aerated mixture without any lumps.

Ingredients: Unsweetened almond milk, Vegan protein powder (chocolate flavor), Unsweetened cocoa powder, 100% Peanut Butter, Ripe banana, Espresso, Vanilla extract, Salt, Maple syrup
It's best to use a countertop blender that can thoroughly combine the ingredients. If you're using an immersion blender, place the ingredients in a tall container to avoid splattering. The key is to achieve a smooth base before adding the chia seeds - this will prevent clumps of protein powder or cocoa from forming.
2

Pour the smooth chocolate mixture from the blender into a medium-sized bowl or a large jar (with a capacity of about 750 ml). Evenly sprinkle all the chia seeds over the surface of the liquid.

Ingredients: Chia seeds
Using a bowl will make mixing easier later on. If you are making pudding in a jar, make sure it has a wide opening that allows for easy maneuvering of a whisk or fork.
3

Immediately after adding the chia seeds, take a small whisk or fork and start mixing vigorously. Mix for about 1-2 minutes, making sure to reach the bottom and edges of the container. The goal is to evenly distribute the seeds in the liquid and prevent them from clumping together.

Don't skip this step! This first, thorough mixing is crucial for the seeds to swell evenly. A small whisk will work best to effectively break up any clumps that form.
4

Set the bowl or jar with the pudding on the kitchen counter for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the seeds will start to absorb the liquid and swell slightly. After this time, mix everything again very vigorously with a whisk for another minute. You will notice that the mixture has already started to thicken.

This is the secret to perfectly smooth chia pudding. The second mixing breaks up any lumps that may have formed during the initial soaking and guarantees a velvety final consistency. Don't cut corners!
5

Cover the container with plastic wrap, a lid, or a plate and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. For the best results, leave the pudding in the fridge overnight. During this time, the seeds will fully swell, and the pudding will achieve its final, thick, and creamy consistency.

Patience is key. Cooling for too short a time will result in a runny pudding. Cooling overnight also allows the flavors to 'meld' and become deeper.
6

Take the prepared pudding out of the fridge. Before serving, stir it one last time with a spoon to even out the consistency. Distribute the mixture evenly into two glasses, bowls, or cups. Decorate the top with fresh raspberries and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. For an extra touch, you can add a few shavings of dark chocolate. Serve immediately, chilled.

Ingredients: Fresh raspberries, Chopped hazelnuts
Serving in transparent dishes beautifully showcases the layers and thick texture of the pudding. You can create layers by alternating between pudding, plant-based yogurt, or fruit puree.

Fun Fact

💡

Chia seeds were a staple in the diet of the Aztecs and Mayans. The word 'chia' in the Mayan language means 'strength'. Legends say that Aztec warriors could survive an entire day of battle, sustaining themselves with just one tablespoon of these seeds, which speaks to their extraordinary nutritional density.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

To make the presentation even more impressive, serve the pudding in transparent glasses or jars. You can create a 'parfait' by layering the pudding with coconut yogurt and fresh fruits. A dollop of peanut butter on top and a sprig of fresh mint will add a professional touch.

🥡 Storage

The prepared pudding can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container (e.g., a jar) for 3-4 days. With each passing day, it will become slightly thicker. If it becomes too thick, it can be thinned out by adding a bit of plant-based milk and mixing.
