Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk of your choice (such as almond, coconut, dairy, or hemp)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (or almond/seed butter)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 pitted Medjool dates
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions

  1. Combine Milk and Chia Seeds: Whisk together the milk and chia seeds in a mixing bowl until the seeds are evenly distributed and beginning to absorb the liquid.
  2. Mix in Additional Ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter, cocoa powder, chopped dates, and vanilla essence. Mix thoroughly until the texture is uniform. Add honey or maple syrup if a sweeter pudding is desired.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding.
  4. Blend for Smoothness: After chilling, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high speed for about 2 minutes until the pudding becomes very smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the pudding into small jars or a large serving bowl. Serve immediately as a delightful snack or dessert for kids of all ages.

Notes

  • Use a milk variety suitable for your child’s dietary restrictions or preferences, such as almond or dairy milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
  • Make sure the dates are pitted and finely chopped to avoid large chunks.
  • Blending after chilling ensures the pudding is smooth and creamy, perfect for young children.
  • This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
