Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk with 1/2 cup of chia seeds until well combined. Mix for about 2-3 minutes until the seeds absorb the milk.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the bowl. Stir for another 2 minutes until well blended.
  3. Chop 6 pitted Medjool dates and add them with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until well distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  5. After chilling, blend the mixture on high for about 2 minutes for a silky-smooth consistency.
  6. Pour the pudding into jars or bowls and serve with toppings like sliced fruits or granola.
