A decadent overnight chia seed pudding that’s both nutritious and extra chocolatey. This vegan double chocolate chai chia seed pudding is perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert.

Chocolatey-Chai Tea Flavor

Try to say that name 5 times fast! 😂 But truly chai tea and chocolate are a match made in flavor heaven. The natural spiciness of the chai tea is a spectacular compliment to the sweet cocoa flavor.

Best yet, this pudding is extra chocolatey. Chocolate dairy-free milk doubles the chocolate flavor with a touch of sweetness. However, any plant-based milk will also work if necessary.

Additionally, this snack or dessert only takes a few minutes to whip up. Then, just let it sit overnight or for at least a couple of hours for the chia seeds to congeal, producing a healthy “pudding” that’s loaded with protein.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Chia Seeds – These super seeds expand when soaked and are transformed into a delicious and nutritious dairy-free “pudding.”
Cacao or Cocoa Powder – Provides a deep and rich chocolate flavor to this chia pudding.
Chocolate Dairy Free Milk – Can you ever have too much chocolate?! By using chocolate plant-based milk, you get double the chocolate flavor- yum!
Chai Tea Powder – By using a concentrated chai tea powder, the pudding explodes with flavors of ginger, cinnamon, all-spice, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg, and cloves.
Maple Syrup – This natural sweetener adds richness and depth of flavor while pleasing your sweet tooth.
Optional Pudding Toppings – Pomegranate Arils and Chocolate Shavings add a gourmet touch. However, feel free to use any seasonal berry or to leave the toppings off entirely because this chia pudding has amazing flavor all on its own.

FAQ & Chocolate Chai Chia Pudding Tips:

Does the chia seed pudding need to sit overnight or will it be ready sooner
- In order for the chia seeds to congeal, a little time is required. However, two to three hours should be sufficient.

Is there a substitute for the chai tea powder?
- Yes. We love the convenience of chai tea powder but as an alternative, you can also steep a bag of chai tea into the chocolate milk prior to adding it to the chia seeds along with the remaining ingredients.

Tip: Mix the Chia Seeds Well.
- Chia seeds tend to stick together, so be thorough when stirring to avoid unhydrated chia seeds in your pudding.
Tip: Get Creative with the Toppings!
- We love to add chocolate shavings and seasonal berries to our pudding. Pomegranate arils, raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries all add a brightness to the rich chocolatey chai pudding.
