Chocolate Orange Chia Pudding

This single serving of pudding is great for breakfast, snack or dessert. When I eat it for breakfast, I try to have another protein source (like a hard-boiled egg). I wonder what it would taste like, if I added some protein powder to the pudding?

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp almond milk, unsweetened
• 1/2 tsp orange extract
• 2 Tbsp cocao nibs – optional
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 3 Tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tsp Truvia or Xyla (I prefer Xyla.)
• 1/2 tsp fresh orange zest – be careful as you can put too much in

Instructions

1. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Mix again about 15 minutes later
3. After about 30 minutes, the seeds will be plump and the mixture will be pudding-consistency. This can be made the night before.
4. Eat.

I made this today. And I am posting it for National Chocolate Pudding Day.  #NationalChocolatePuddingDay – June 26
