Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  2. Add the chia seeds and mix thoroughly.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir in a splash of almond milk if the pudding firms up more than desired.
