What you need

tbsp almond butter

banana

tsp ground cinnamon

cup chia seed

cup unsweetened almond milk
tbsp cacao powder

tbsp maple syrup

tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, use a fork to smash the ripe banana until there are no chunks left. The riper the banana, the easier it will be to break it down. Add the almond milk to the banana and whisk to combine. Mix in the cacao powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, salt and almond butter (if you're using it) and whisk again until the mix is completely uniform. Stir in the chia seeds and whisk immediately for a few minutes until the seeds are evenly distributed in order to prevent large clumps. When the chia seeds are evenly distributed and the mix is uniform, either cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator or pour the mix into jars and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to set. When the chia pudding is ready to eat, the chia seeds will have absorbed the milk and the pudding will be very thick. Refrigerate the pudding for up to four days and top with toppings of your choice like almond butter and cinnamon.View original recipe
