Peanut Butter Chocolate Chia Pudding
This peanut butter chocolate chia pudding is a great indulgent dessert alternative and a quick breakfast packed with protein and nutrients.
Let’s just take take a quick break from summer fruits and veggies and talk about my new favorite breakfast pudding. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine sent me a picture of her dessert. It was chocolate chia pudding. I was like “Say what? Why am I not having that for dessert or breakfast?” So of course, I did and I was hooked. It blew my regular coconut vanilla chia pudding out of the running. But it got even better when I decided to add in some peanut butter to make this peanut butter chocolate chia pudding. WHOA!!
It’s incredibly simple too. Just combine some milk (almond milk to make it dairy free), chia, peanut butter and cocoa powder. I used Ghirardelli 70% Cocoa powder I had in my pantry and I recommend using a high quality cocoa powder with this. This peanut butter chocolate chia pudding will be a very easy after dinner dessert if you are looking to cut back on sweets but still want something indulgent and healthy. But it is also a great breakfast, full of protein and nutrients to keep you going all morning long.

Yay! I feel special 🙂
I am not familiar with chia seeds, but who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter.
Right??
What a fabulous way to sneak chocolate into breakfast! And really it doesn’t even count as ‘sneaking’ because I’m sure that 70% cocoa is totally healthy! Absolutely love this … I’ve been wanting to try out a chia pudding myself for ages so this is a great reminder to give it a go soon. 🙂
Sneaking is a great way of putting it!
I have been on the hunt for new breakfast ideas and this fits the bill perfectly! I am going to give this a try tonight for tomorrow!

Do you happen to have the nutritional facts?
No, but you can calculate it using your fitness app of choice. Myfitnesspal is one I use and like.
Hello. I’m in Mexico and bought what I thought was chocolate almond milk. Turned out to be a coffee almond milk. I still used the caco powder. I tell you this was AMAZING, like a chocolaty, mocha, PB pudding. So good, thank you for inspiring me to try new things.
So glad to hear you love this recipe!! I can imagine the coffee addition was a good idea…yum!!
How much is one serving I am dying to make this ?!?!
