Chocolate Chia Pudding

Do you remember tapioca as a kid? Well it was one of our favorites! When we stumbled upon chia pudding, it was life-changing. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a light snack, and so versatile, it’s a staple in our kitchen, and ready in under an hour. If you want it extra cold, chill in the fridge for two hours, or longer.
