Description

This Cacao Blended Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutrient-packed vegan dessert or breakfast option featuring unsweetened raw cacao, protein powder, and chia seeds. Blended with soy milk and sweetened naturally with Medjool dates, it sets into a luscious pudding topped with dairy-free yogurt, fresh raspberries, and crunchy pistachios. Perfect for a wholesome, easy-to-make treat that combines rich chocolate flavor with antioxidant-rich fruits and nuts.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened raw cacao powder
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2.5 cups soy milk
  • 3 Medjool dates, pitted

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt (soy-based recommended)
  • 2 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cacao powder, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, pitted Medjool dates, and soy milk. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is perfectly smooth and the dates are fully incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate to Set: Pour the blended mixture into jars or containers of your desired size. Place them in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 1 hour, though leaving them overnight will yield a creamier pudding texture.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top your cacao chia pudding with a dollop of dairy-free soy yogurt, fresh raspberries, and chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • The vanilla protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and creaminess.
  • Medjool dates provide natural sweetness, but you can adjust the number according to taste.
  • Using a high-speed blender ensures the seeds blend well, resulting in a smooth pudding.
  • This pudding can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute soy milk with other plant-based milks like almond or oat milk.
