Creamy Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and cocoa powder until well combined.

2. Add Liquids: Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.

3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

4. Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Serve chilled, topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
