This chocolate banana chia pudding is the perfect healthy snack or breakfast! It tastes like dessert even though it's good for you. Gluten-free, vegan recipe from Real Food Real Deals.

This Chocolate Banana Chia Pudding is healthy enough for breakfast and decadent enough for dessert. Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, full of fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and calcium. I love how this pudding thickens up just like traditional pudding, but it only takes a few minutes to make. There’s no need to stand over the stove stirring and stirring – the chia seeds do the work for you! If you like my chia coconut pudding, I think you’ll love this recipe, too.

These mashed banana give the chocolate banana chia pudding the perfect flavor and texture.

Use a food processor or a fork to mash the bananas. These will help sweeten and thicken the pudding. I love using bananas instead of sugar to sweeten my recipes.

Add the milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla to the food processor and puree to combine everything. Taste and see if it needs a little maple syrup, then pour the chocolate mixture over the chia seeds.

Pour the chocolate banana mixture over the seeds to make this delicious, healthy chocolate banana chia pudding.

This recipe will take you five minutes to make. The return on investment is huge! You’ll love this healthy pudding.

This chocolate banana chia pudding is a delicious healthy indulgence! Perfect for dessert, breakfast, or snack time. (gluten-free, vegan)

    I came across the photo of your Chocolate Banana Chia Pudding, it looks yummy! I fell in love with the mug that your pudding is photographed in. Would you be able to tell me where I can find more like it please? 🙂

      I love that mug too, Davinia. It was a gift years ago, and I don’t know where it came from.

    Great recipe! I added 1/4 C of collagen powder and upped the cacao to 4 TBSP. I also put everything into the blender because I prefer my chia puddings smooth (first did it without the chia seeds so I could adjust flavors). Thanks for dessert tonight! 😉
