Whip up this delicious vegan & gluten free Chocolate Banana Coconut Chia Pudding in the evening and it will be ready for breakfast or snacks the next day.
sliced bananas, coconut whip, shredded coconut, chia seeds, or cacao nibs for garnish(optional)
Instructions
Soak dates in water for 30 minutes to soften them up.
Add dates, bananas, cocoa powder, coconut milk, vanilla, and water to a blender.
Blend until smooth. (I use my NutriBullet for this step)
Pour mixture into a large bowl or container.
Stir in chia seeds.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight so it can set.
Garnish with the (optional) topping of your choice.
Notes
This recipe makes either 4 x 250ml or 2 x 500ml larger servings. Calorie count listed above is for a 250ml serving.
Canned coconut milk must be used, not the coconut milk that comes in cartons.
I use full fat coconut milk in this recipe, but light coconut milk can also be used. If using light coconut milk, cut back on the water being added to the recipe. Calorie count listed above is the recipe made with full fat coconut milk.
