Method

Steps

In a large mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Continue to whisk for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring no clumps of chia seeds or cocoa powder remain. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Divide the mixture evenly into four jars or small bowls, filling them three-quarters full.
Cover the jars and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, preferably several hours or overnight.
Before serving, stir the pudding and top with fresh fruits or whipped cream if desired.
