Notes

This recipe works great with any plant-based milk, but if you're using coconut milk, try to opt for the carton one. If you still want to use canned coconut milk, add more quantity to the recipe.
Cocoa powder is full of clumps. If you add it straight into the mixture, it will be tough to break up the lumps, so make sure you sift while adding to the recipe.
Blend the chia pudding to achieve a yogurt consistency if you don't like the chia seed texture. 
Feel free to add more color into this recipe and top this chia pudding with fresh fruit, granola, or nut butter.
