Equipment

Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup hot water
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cup almond milk
2 1/2 tbsp cacao powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 bananas, sliced
1 tbsp cacao nibs

Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Place the chia seeds in hot water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the seeds can start to thicken.
Stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Fill your serving glass with half the chia pudding mixture, then add a layer of banana slices.
Top with the remaining chia pudding, more banana slices, and cacao nibs.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Bulk up your banana chia seed pudding with peanut butter and flax seeds! Toppings like coconut flakes, fresh raspberries, and granola can also make your banana chia seed pudding even more satisfying.
For an overnight chia seed and banana pudding, combine 1/4 cup chia seeds with 1 cup milk, 1 cup yogurt, 3 mashed bananas, your choice of sweetener, and additional mix-ins. Pour the mixture into mason jars, cover, and enjoy your pudding the next day!
Store your banana chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but wait to add the banana slices until you’re ready to serve.
