• 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
• 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2–3 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions:

1. Mix together the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
2. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours until it reaches a pudding-like consistency. If possible, stir once or twice while it is setting to break up the chia seed clumps.
3. Once set, pour the pudding into the blender, and add the peppermint essential oil. Blend until smooth. Serve chilled alone or with desired toppings such as fruit, whipped cream, granola, etc.
