Chocolate and Salted Date Caramel Chia Pudding is an easy, delicious and healthy breakfast to start your day. Chocolate and salted caramel are two of my favorite flavors. I usually end up with one big scoop each of them at the ice cream store. I mean, how can I resist right?!
Here I have created a guilt free option, Chocolate and Salted Date Caramel Chia Pudding. Perfect for breakfast as well as dessert. It’s easy to make, filling, packed full of protein, fibre and antioxidants. Also vegan, gluten-free and with no added refined sugar.
Ingredients you need to make this Chocolate and Salted Date Caramel Chia Pudding:
Chia pudding:
- Almond milk, I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. You can also substitute for any other kind of plant based milk, or regular milk for non vegan.
- Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein
- Cocoa powder, a good quality that is unsweetened
- Maple syrup or honey honey for non vegan
Sated Date Caramel:
- Dates, Medjool dates will work best, they have a soft and creamy consistency and a slight caramel flavour
- Hot water
- Almond milk, You can also substitute for any other kind of plant based milk, or regular milk for non vegan.
- Vanilla bean paste, I love this intense flavor of vanilla. Can also be substituted for vanilla extract.
- Sea salt, for that salted caramel taste
